Repair Level Analysis Services
This business area includes the conduct of trade studies to determine the least-cost, operationally effective repair level decision for all system and equipment indentures. These analyses are performed concurrent with system design as part of the developer's systems engineering analysis process or as part of the program management decision support process. The LORA/ORLA/RLA process examines the notional system maintenance concept and all feasible alternatives, identifying the least-cost alternative, its sensitivity to key performance parameter (KPP) input variance, and the relative cost of each alternative. Once repair decision crossover points for the key input parameters are established, the process need only be re-iterated in the event that key parameter limits are exceeded. In the event that system deployment dictates early initiation of the LORA process with reliability allocation and preliminary cost data, use of sufficiently wide sensitivity analysis ranges to accomodate updated input data will reduce the need to re-iterate the entire process with predicted data and updated costs, and will reduce the possibility of revising the support system as crossover points are broached by actual performance data. Although LORA is intended to evolve in concert with system design progress, funding constraints limiting the number of iterations may be mitigated by this approach, with no reduction in the accuracy of the resultant repair recommendations.
