LSAR – Why Bother? Value Cases For Logistics Support Analysis Records

Outline  What is an LSAR?  A Few Value Cases  Discussion 2Pennant Canada Ltd

3 So What is an LSAR? Of ANALYSIS activities (e.g. Support Options, R&M, FMECA, MTA) A RECORD of DATA from a set of activities within business processes For SUPPORT of a particular MISSION EQUIPMENT within its support/use scenarios Specifically, for the LOGISTICS aspects of SUPPORT An LSAR is the COLLECTION and SOURCE RECORD of information concerning EQUIPMENT SYSTEM: Support Performance Metrics Equipment Maintenance Plans Logistic Support Requirements The related and substantiating Logistics Support Analyses A Content/Purpose View … not a Format One !! Pennant Canada Ltd

An Equipment System  The Mission Equipment performs the operational mission  An effective Support System generates and sustains Mission Equipment  The combination of the Mission Equipment and the Support System constitutes an Equipment System  An effective Support System and capable Mission Equipment provides Materiel Readiness (for a specific client’s context of use and support) Support System Mission Equipment Button Equipment System 4Pennant Canada Ltd

Delivered LSARs  Spreadsheets  Relational Databases  b/GEIA 0007/AP-239 PLCS  Maintenance Manuals  Parts Manuals  SAP® ERP Maintenance Task List Pennant Canada Ltd5 DON’T THEY ALL contain data RECORD of ANALYSIS of LOGISTICS SUPPORT??

LSARs Address…  The Mission Equipment  Its support characteristics/ performance and requirements  The Support System  Design and performance  The Overall Equipment System  Combining these to identify use and support/performance across locations and missions  LSARs include Mission Equipment and Support System Baselines  Defining “Right” and evaluating Risk/Tradeoffs throughout the life cycle Pennant Canada Ltd6

Some LSAR Value Cases  If you have it… you can…  Across Life Cycle  Options Analysis  Acquisition  In-Service  Disposal Pennant Canada Ltd9

LSAR AcquisitionIn-ServiceDisposal LSAR Increasing Content across Acquisition Phase, Use for LCC, OA, Bid Eval & SEM/ILS Deliveries Sustained Content, During In- Service Phase, Used for SA reworks, Perf Mon & Continuous Improvement (Maintenance Effectiveness Reviews) Reduced Content, During Disposal Phase, Used for OA, and basis for replacement Acquisition LSAR/BCS 1-Representative LSAR Across Life Cycle 2-Predicted3 –Actual / 4&5- Updated Data Maturity 10Pennant Canada Ltd

#1 – BCA for Support Concepts  PROBLEM  Business Case for ISSC decisions  APPROACH  Develop high level representative model with options for mission equipment and support  Enterprise costing data used  VALUE  LCC estimations supported by data  Repeatable & Comparable  EXAMPLE  OC Transpo Bus LCC  TAPV LCC  JUSTAS Pennant Canada Ltd11

#2 – Bid Evaluation  PROBLEM  LCC-based comparison of contenders for long-term ISS  APPROACH  Intermediate (Eqpt+1) level breakdowns  Support Models  Data Quality Risk Assessment  VALUE  Defendable LCC comparisons  Repeatable & accepted  EXAMPLES  LUVW  ISSP Pennant Canada Ltd12

#3 – Sparing/MTA Support  PROBLEM  Spares Solution Unaffordable  APPROACH  Proposed Dataset  Examine alternatives Maintenance Concept Managed Readiness  VALUE  Options & Impacts assessed consistently  EXAMPLE  SIRIUS ($27M  $20M) Pennant Canada Ltd13

#4 – ERP Data Loads  PROBLEM  Getting Industry Data into DND ERP  1000s of IT Tech Objects  APPROACH  Industry LSAR  DND LSAR Merge with DND/NATO data Align with ERP structure  Data load Extracts from DND LSAR  VALUE  Reduced manual effort & Errors  EXAMPLES  Sirius Data management for 5+ years before load; 300  ERP Tech Objects auto  FELEX CSI DND V&V of Industry LSAR  improved LSA Pennant Canada Ltd14

#5 – Publications  PROBLEM  Creating and Maintaining Accurate Maintenance & Parts Pubs/IETMs  APPROACH  LSAR as common source database (GEIA-0007  S1000D)  Parts Manual - +Figures  Maintenance Plan – Export  Maint Manual - +Content  VALUE  Reduced effort & cost  Improved Accuracy/Currency  EXAMPLES  Parts Manuals RCN MY Parts; EMIS/MX  Maintenance Planning RCN NY NPMS  Maintenance Manuals Publisher add-on Pennant Canada Ltd15

#6 – Performance Monitoring and Assessment  PROBLEM  Executing performance monitoring for Equipment Systems (and associated contracts)  APPROACH  LSAR-provided expected values Mission Equipment Metrics Support System Metrics  VALUE  Analysis – based Metrics to assess actual performance  EXAMPLES  MEP-24 BI Cube and processes  Performance Outcomes & Standards Matrix (POSM) Pennant Canada Ltd16

#7 – Maintenance Effectiveness Reviews  PROBLEM  Predicted Preventive Maintenance program exceeds requirements in actual use  APPROACH  Maintenance Effectiveness Reviews  VALUE  Aligning Maintenance to actual use and actual performance  EXAMPLES  HALMOAR/NavSEA ~40% reduction in ship PM Pennant Canada Ltd17

#8 – Mission Planning  PROBLEM  Plan spares for a system for new operational mission  APPROACH  Mission Run for subset on operations  VALUE  Analysis-based spares estimate  Reduced manual labor  EXAMPLES  TAPV LCC estimates  LUVW Afghanistan rework Pennant Canada Ltd18

#9 – Disposal Planning  PROBLEM  Wind down spares inventory as system is withdrawn  APPROACH  Model runs on wind-down plan  Compare needs with existing inventory  Identify surpluses/shortfalls/risks  VALUE  Avoided overstocking as usage reduces  EXAMPLES  IMCS/DCS repairables and spares  Ship/Base Supply Halifax purges on EC installs Pennant Canada Ltd19

DISCUSSION Maintained, Integrated “LSARs” have value across the full life cycle as a common source dataset!! Pennant Canada Ltd20
