What is Product Support Analysis and Logistics Product Data?
Product Support Analysis (PSA) is a critical component of any Life-Cycle Management Program. The objective of PSA is to cause supportability requirements to be an integral part of design requirements, to understand and define the optimal support requirements, and to prepare Logistics Product Data (LPD) documentation required to build a functional support system for the product life-cycle.
Some of the techniques used in PSA include Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA), and Level of Repair Analysis (LORA). PSA activities integrate with specialty engineering disciplines such as Test and Evaluation, Human Factors Engineering, Reliability, and Safety programs.
This three-day workshop is designed to assist Design Engineers, Logistics Engineers, and Managers with the implementation (application) of supportability analysis to programs, emphasizing tailoring the program strategy for the program phase, defining the program PSA goals, and streamlining the approach to capture cost savings while achieving PSA objectives. Formerly governed by MIL-STD-1388-1A/2B, this workshop has been updated to give students a thorough understanding of current DoD guidance using TA-STD-0017A and GEIA-STD-0007C.
Lectures are provided on the principles of PSA and the organization and use of LPD. Workshop topics are reinforced by a series of group discussions and simple hands-on exercises.
