m aint enance t hen drive t he decisions
concerning t he resources necessary t o
support m aint enance act ions.
2 Manpower and personnel; Syst em s
cannot operat e and m aint ain
t hem selves. I LS is charged w it h t he
responsibilit y of ident ifying t he num ber
of personnel needed t o support
operat ions and m aint enance, and t he
skills t hey require.
3 Supply support ; Operat ion and
m aint enance act ions require m at erial in
t he form of spare and repair part s.
I dent ificat ion and acquisit ion of t he
m at erials necessary t o support t he
operat ion and m aint enance of syst em s is
anot her key responsibilit y of t he I LS
organizat ion.
4 Support and t est equipm ent ; Som e
syst em s require addit ional equipm ent t o
support operat ions or m aint enance.
Support equipm ent specialist s and t est
engineers conduct analy ses t o ident ify
and develop t hese requirem ent s.
5 Training and t raining support ; Trained
and qualified operat ors and m aint enance
personnel are required t o support t he
syst em s. Wit hin t he I LS organizat ion,
are t raining specialist s who part icipat e in
t he planning process. Necessary devices
and equipm ent t o support t raining are
also developed by t his group.
6 Technical docum ent at ion; The

I nt egrat ed Logist ics Support ( I LS)
requirem ent s are focused on t he
m aint enance of hardware. This leaves
soft ware, which does not have t he
physical charact erist ics of hardware, and
hence m ore difficult t o address in t he
cont ex t of failures and m aint enance
t asks. The resources t o support soft ware
and hardware are an int egral part of t he
support package for m ost syst em s.
8 Facilit ies; Operat ion and m aint enance of

of reliabilit y and m aint ainabilit y address
how long a syst em w ill operat e wit hout

Each of t he 10 disciplines has a specific role
in t he logist ics support planning process.
These disciplines m ust t hen be coordinat ed

3. Logist ic Su ppor t An a lysis
( LSA)
The various individual act ivit ies of t he I LS
disciplines m ust be coordinat ed t o achieve
t he best logist ics support . For t his reason,
t he process known as Logist ic Support

LSA involves t he int egrat ion and applicat ion
of a range of quant it at ive and qualit at ive
m et hods t hat aim t o ensure t hat int egrat ed
logist ic support requirem ent s are considered

accom plished on a st and- alone basis. The
SLA process is designed t o enhance t he
int errelat ions bet ween design phase and I LS
and am ongst t he I LS disciplines.
MI L 1388- 1A furt her divides t he t ask s int o

subt asks for each t ask , see e.g. [ 1] . I nst ead,
only a few subt asks are highlight ed, which
are of m ain im port ance for t he LSA process.

keys t o develop a det ailed logist ic support
package for t he new equipm ent . The place

Crit icalit y Analysis ( FMECA) . I n addit ion of
FMECA, Reliabilit y Cent ered Maint enance
( RCM) is used t o ident ify t he m aint enance

achieved.
3 .1 .7 . Ta sk 4 0 1 - Ta sk a n a lysis
Wit hin 4 0 1 , each m aint enance t asks

The I LSP is prepared by t he syst em owner
during concept phase, and updat ed
t hroughout t he life of t he I LS program . As
such, it is a dynam ic docum ent , e.g.,
updat ed annually. The I LSP owner provides
a copy of t he I LSP t o cont ract ors for
inform at ion and t o help cont ract or's
underst anding of how cont ract ual
requirem ent s fit int o t he overall I LS
program .
6. Logist ics M a n a ge m e n t
Successful accom plishm ent of goals requires
proper planning and m anagem ent . People
are required t o perform I LS requirem ent s,
and t he way in which t he people are
organized influences how successful t hey will
be.
6.1. I LS Or ga n iza t ion
I LS organizat ions are com posed of funct ional
disciplines t hat have been described earlier
in t his paper. The way in which t he
disciplines are organized depends on t he
acquisit ion phase of t he specific product , t he
com pany size, and t he t ype of product
support ed. A concept ual organizat ion of I LS
disciplines solely based on funct ions is show
in Figure 2 [ 1] . This concept is used by
m any large governm ent al cont ract ors, t hat
have ongoing logist ics program s for m any
different product s.
© 2012 SKF Group 8 ( 12)
Figure 2: I LS Organizat ional Concept [ 1] .
During acquisit ion phase, a sm aller
organizat ion m ay be t ailored, covering
reliabilit y and m aint ainabilit y engineering,
logist ic resources planning, life cycle cost ,
and safet y engineering. Also, for sm aller
com panies, generally a few logist icians
perform various funct ions t o design t he
support package during t he syst em life.
6.2. I LS Pr ogr a m M a n a ge m e n t
I LS act ivit ies are norm ally coordinat ed and
cont rolled t hrough a program m anagem ent
process. Aspect s include assignm ent of
responsibilit ies, changing act ion as t he
program m oves t hrough different phases,
using program m anagem ent t ools such as
schedule ad budget . The success or failure of
a program depends on how well t he program
is m anaged. The person who bears t he t ot al
responsibilit y is called t he I LS ( program )
m anager.
6.3. Role Of Con t r a ct in g
Cont ract ing plays an im port ant role in I LS
program s, especially when t he governm ent
is t he cont ract owner like in m ilit ary I LS
program s. Typical cont ract s for equipm ent
and services have t hree basic sect ions t hat
direct I LS act ivit ies. These t hree sect ions are

( 1) t he product specificat ion, ( 2) t he
st at em ent of work, and ( 3) t he dat a list .
The product specificat ion includes a
com plet e t echnical descript ion of t he
syst em . Of course t his also covers reliabilit y,
m aint ainabilit y, and support abilit y goals. For
exam ple, a t ypical st at em ent would include:
"… The system shall have a mean time between
failure of not less than 1,000 hours …"
Because of t he MI L- STD st andards, t he
St at em ent - Of- Work ( SOW) can be rat her
st raight forw ard. For exam ple:
"… The contractor shall conduct a Logistic
Support Analysis program to include
accomplishments of Tasks 101, 102, 103, 201,
205, 301, 303, 401, and 501 of MIL-STD
1388-1A…"
The dat a list represent s t he com plet e list of
docum ent at ion t hat a cont ract or m ust

very significant , because t he m aj orit y of I LS

10. Appe n dix A
Three key LSA t echniques are Failure Mode
and Effect s Crit icalit y Analysis ( FMECA) ,
Reliabilit y Cent ered Maint enance ( RCM) and
Level of Repair Analysis ( LORA) .
10.1. Fa ilu r e M o3 de s, Effe ct s, a n d
Cr it ica lit y An a lysis ( FM ECA)
This is an effect ive design t ool and it s
applicat ion is an essent ial part of t he design
and developm ent process, from funct ional
analysis during t he Acquisit ion Phase
I nt egrat ed Logist ics Support ( I LS)
t hrough t o det ailed design. FMECA is used t o
t ailor a part icular design and basically
ident ifies possible syst em failures, t he
causes of t hose failures, and t he effect s of
failure on a syst em and t he crit icalit y of
failures in t erm s of safet y and m ission
achievem ent . I dent ified failures m ay t hen be
elim inat ed by im proved design. For m ore

10.2. Re lia bilit y Ce n t e r e d
M a in t e n a n ce ( RCM )
This t echnique ident ifies t he m ost cost
effect ive m ix of m aint enance schedules and
procedures for bot h scheduled ( servicing)
m aint enance and unscheduled ( repair)
m aint enance. RCM is com plem ent ary t o
FMECA and should be conduct ed in
conj unct ion wit h it . FMECA is used t o ident ify
crit ical m aint enance act ions t o be included
for analysis in an RCM program . For m ore
det ails, see [ 7] .
10.3. Le ve l Of Re pa ir An a lysis
( LORA)
This is essent ially an analysis of
m aint enance act ions t hat lead t o
recom m endat ions on where scheduled
( servicing) and unscheduled ( repair)
m aint enance t asks should be conduct ed and
when com ponent s should be discarded.
LORA should be opt im ized t o achieve
m axim um availabilit y at m inim um LCC. For
