DESIGNING FOR COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT THOMAS L. NONDORF THE BOEING COMPANY Oct. 22, 2003

Once upon a time: SUPPORT WAS THE RIGHT ASSET AT THE RIGHT TIME AT THE RIGHT PLACE

THE REALITY TODAY: PERFORMANCE BASED LOGISTICS PERFORMANCE WARRANTIES AUTONOMOUS OPERATION MORE EMPHASIS ON CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE

HOW DO WE ACCOMMODATE THIS CHANGE IN PHILOSOPHY ? UNDERSTAND THE REQUIREMENTS DESIGN A PRODUCT THAT CAN ACHIEVE THEM

WARRANTIES: AVAILABILITY….. INHERIENT ? ACHIEVED ? OBSERVED ? HOW DO YOU ACHIEVE THE LEVEL NEEDED ? RELIABILITY? MAINTAINABILITY? DIAGNOSTICS? TRAINING? SPARES? ALL THE ABOVE?

ACTUALLY THE CORRECT ANSWER IS: “ALL THE ABOVE” BUT, IN A STRUCTURED, OPTIMIZED APPROACH WHICH BALANCES ACQUISITION COST, CAPABILITY, PERFORMANCE AND SUPPORT COST i.e. “A STRUCTURED SYSTEMS ENGINEERING PROCESS”

DESIGNDESIGN SUPPORTSUPPORT THE CLASSIC FUNDING BATTLE IS A PRIMARY REASON FOR THIS DILEMA

VISION OF SUPPORTABILITY Customer Coordination/Feedback An integral part of a disciplined SE process that provides the bridge between front end product design thru effective field support Avoid costly redesign Assure balanced design/best value to customer Force Multiplier PRODUCT SUPPORT Systems Engineering AFFORDABILITY RISK MANAGEMENT Product Support Disciplines SUPPLY SUPPORT LOGISTICS SUPPORT TECH MANUALS TRAINING FIELD SERVICE MANPOWER CONTRACTED LOGISTICS SUPPORT (CLS) PRODUCT ENGINEERING Systems Engineering AFFORDABILITY RISK MANAGEMENT Supportability Eng Disciplines RELIABILITY IVHM MAINTAINABILITY BASE SUITABILITY HUMAN FACTORS DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT ROOT CAUSE

LIKEWISE, THE TRADITIONAL SUPPORT FUNCTIONS ALSO HAVE A ROLE IN THE DESIGN INFLUENCE TASK

SUMMARY: UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DO IDENTIFY REQUIREMENTS EARLY TRANSLATE REQUIREMENTS INTO DESIGN CRITERIA AND DESIGN REQUIREMENTS MONITOR PERFORMANCE
