3.10 Level Of Repair Analysis (LORA)
Objectives
To define:
  • Repair Level Analysis (RLA)
  • Cost Analysis
  • Level Of Repair Analysis (LORA)
To identify:
  • Economic and non-economic factors affecting LORA
  • Using the LORA Standard
  • Repair Level Analysis provide a determination of where equipment can be repaired, this may include:
  • Operational Level Maintenance
  • In the field
  • On-board
  • On the Flight Line
  • Repair Level Analysis
  • Intermediate Level Maintenance
  • Mobile workshop
  • Along side
  • Deeper Level Maintenance
  • Contractor
  • Maintenance Depot
  • Cost Analysis
LORA can be used to determine all costs associated with repairing the equipment, this includes all costs incurred to:
  • conduct the repair
  • establish and utilise a repair venue
  • tooling
  • skill the repairer
Level Of Repair Analysis (LORA) combines Repair Level Analysis (RLA) with Cost Analysis to determine whether maintenance should be performed and subsequently, where maintenance should be performed.
The LORA Standard is a Mil Std 1390D LORA, with the following details attached as the Appendix:
