  3. My initial job at Lockheed Martin was on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Program, Maintenance Planning IPT as a Maintenance Planner JSF maintenance concept is a Two-Level Repair Maintenance Concept Organizational – User level / Squadron Depot – OEM/Supplier repair facility All parts repaired at Organizational or Depot level Omits traditional Intermediate level I worked with SSA, R&M, and OEMs during System Development and Demonstration (SDD) phase to help determine the appropriate LRA for all components within my assigned system of responsibility.

  4. The appropriate LRA was determined by examining: Cost of repair Required repair facilities Required Test and Support Equipment for repair Required skill level to conduct repair Existing technology for repair Complexity of sub-system parts Level of Repair was then determined for each part Organization level repair Depot level repair

  5. I also worked on identifying Depot level capabilities per Title 10 to determine the LRA Examined parts to determine complexity to determine requirements for non-OEM Depot level repair facilities Non-OEM repair facilities may not have the current equipment necessary to perform a cost-beneficial support system for repair and testing of parts If not cost effective for non-OEM repair, OEM repair would be used

  7. Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) • According to the Defense Acquisition University, the Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) is an analytical methodology used to determine where an item will be replaced, repaired, or discarded based on cost considerations and operational readiness requirements. • LORA produces the final answer as to how a system will be supported.

  8. LORA Process (According to the U.S. Army) 1) The first step in the process is to develop a LORA candidate list; initial candidate list shall all include repairable item/components, a copy of this list shall be provided to the government. 2) The initial candidate list shall include all repairable item/components, when analyzed if they are determined not to be viable LORA candidates. These components will be annotated as not applicable (N/A). 3) Levels of Maintenance – For the purpose of this effort the following levels shall be used Field Maintenance (DS), Sustainment Maintenance (DEPOT and Contractor). 4) Remove/Replace and Repair Time - The current commercial repair/replace times will be used. If times are not available, times shall be estimated using MIL-HDBK-470A.

  9. 5) Failure Rates – The current commercial failure rates will be used for the initial/baseline results. The failure rates shall be increase as stated elsewhere in this attachment. 6) Unknown DATA - Elements that do not have current or know data shall use historical data for that item/component or a like item/component; data shall be either commercial or military. 7) Special Tools – All individual Special Tools needed for repair tasks shall be added under Support Equipment. Support Equipment shall be incorporated in each evaluation. 8) All data shall be entered in COMPASS and be as complete as possible, this is to ensure that the evaluations are correct as possible.

  10. Noneconomic and Economic • LORA is performed in two steps: (1 ) using noneconomic decision criteria to make the initial support decisions and ( 2 ) using an economic model to determine the most cost effective alternative to provide support for the system. • Noneconomic LORA decision criteria are a list of rules or guidelines that are used to determine if there is an overriding reason why maintenance should be performed. • Economic LORA is addressed using cost models that calculate the possible costs of all support options and then identify the least cost solution. • It should be emphasized that only the combination of economic and noneconomic will lead to a proper LORA result.

  11. FMECA and FMEA • FMEA is a bottom-up, inductive analytical method which may be performed at either the functional or piece-part level. • FMECA extends FMEA by including a criticality analysis, which is used to chart the probability of failure modes against the severity of their consequences.

  12. Reliability Centered Maintenance • Reliability-centered maintenance, often known as RCM, is a process to ensure that assets continue to do what their users require in their present operating context. • Reliability Centered Maintenance can be used to create a cost-effective maintenance strategy to address dominant causes of equipment failure. • It is a systematic approach to defining a routine maintenance program composed of cost-effective tasks that preserve important functions. • The important functions to preserve with routine maintenance are identified, their dominant failure modes and causes determined and the consequences of failure ascertained.

  15. Level of Repair Analysis determines for each component in the product: • (1) whether it should be discarded or repaired upon failure • (2) at which echelon in the repair network the decision should be made

  16. An example where level of repair analysis is especially important is in Capital Goods. A Naval Ship for example is more cost effective to repair, than to replace the entire system. Life cycle costs for such a system could be evaluated based on the repair/replacement costs of individual components.

  17. Level of Repair analysis identifies what action to take with a component that fails, and also where the repair/replacement action should take place, ie. at maintenance depot, at sea, or in port at some other location.

  19. Definition: An analytical methodology used to determine where an item will be replaced, repaired, or discarded based on cost considerations and operational readiness requirements.

  20. LORA Example • Assume computer stops working • At home, the user tries to locate the failure • It is determined that the BD-ROM has caused the computer to fail • The user cannot fix the BD-ROM, removes it and takes it to Best Buy • Best Buy determines the read sled has caused the BD-ROM to fail • Best Buy does not have the capability to repair • Best Buy sends the read sled to the manufacturer, Sony • Sony fault isolates the problem and fixes the read sled • Read sled is sent back to Best Buy • The read sled is fixed, which fixes the BD-ROM • The BD-ROM is inserted back into the computer to complete the repair

  21. LORA Example • In this situation, a LORA would have determined: • Item: Computer, BD-ROM, Read Sled • Repair Level: Home, Best Buy, Sony • Computer Home • BD-ROM Best Buy • Read Sled Sony

  22. Types of LORA • ELORA Economic Level Of Repair Analysis • The objective of the ELORA, when performed correctly, is to determine the optimum cost of repair of an end item/equipment, by taking into consideration all associated support cost drivers (e.g., manpower, support equipment, training, transportation, etc.) that would be required at each line of maintenance.

  23. ELORA Example • Economic Level Of Repair Analysis • MIL-STD-1390 Example • Driven by: • Inventory cost - includes inventory administration cost, attrition cost, transportation, etc. • Support Equipment (SE) - the cost of providing the necessary SE (other than standard tools and SE) for completing a particular CM task at a given level of maintenance. • Space - required for inventory. • Labor cost - the associated cost for personnel to complete each repair task. • Training cost - the cost for upgrading and providing the necessary training to personnel performing a maintenance task at a given maintenance site and/ or shop. • Documentation - the cost for developing the required documentation for each of the maintenance options.

  24. Non-ELORA Example • Non Economic Level Of Repair Analysis • Based off of predefined questions: • Is the design of the item such that repair is feasible? • Are the item's maintenance characteristics and installation such that a remove/replace strategy is feasible at first line? • Does the item have lower level subassemblies? • Does item's maintenance characteristics permit a replacement action of the sub-item? • Does the item's configuration consist of subassemblies from multiple vendors?

  37. JAM LORA Lockheed Martin uses the Joint Aviation Model for Level of Repair Analysis on the F-35 program. Most of the documents that I have been able to access are listed as non technical ITAR data, and I am therefore unable to copy information from them and present them (even in part) here. Some of the more interesting bits, at a high level, address how LORA requirements are provided by OEM suppliers for COTS parts used on JSF aircraft. I was able to locate the supplier specification documents that outline the LORA requirements for LORA data, and found a number of resources that explain how the JSF program integrates LORA into their overarching maintenance plan. Particularly interesting was how we use Reliability Centered Maintenance Analysis to generate the flow-down requirements given to OEMs for said LORA data.

  38. JAM LORA The previous slide had a process flow for generating LORA data for LORA candidates based on whether or not they fit into the JAM category. Its source document was much more detailed.

  42. Definition: • Level Of Repair Analysis LORA is a prescribed procedure for defense logistics planning. LORA is performed to determine the best, most efficient location where an item can be repaired (acc.dau.mil). • Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) is an analytical methodology used to determine where an item will be replaced, repaired, or discarded based on cost considerations and operational readiness requirements. • LORA seeks to determine an optimal provision of repair and maintenance facilities to minimize overall life-cycle costs. • LORA examines not only the cost of the part to be replaced or repaired but also the skill level of personnel, tools required to perform the task, test equipment required to test the repaired product, and the facilities required to house the entire operation (acc.dau.mil). • The LORA determines if it is more cost effective to discard an item rather than attempt to repair it.

  45. Approach\Purpose The purpose of this paper is for the writer to become more familiar with Repair level Analysis (RLA). Discover what it’s purpose is, where it is used, what are the input data requirements, what is the output and how it is used. There are several definitions for RLA , but the definition as printed in the old Mil-Std 1390-D and Mil-Std 1388-1A ( both of which have been cancelled) is: ”An analytical methodology used to establish the maintenance level at which an item will be replaced, repaired, or discarded based on economic and non-economic considerations and operational readiness requirements” It is an approved procedure for defense logistics support planning and should be completed during the development of the maintenance concept. . LORA seeks to determine an optimal provision of repair and maintenance facilities to minimize overall life-cycle costs.

  46. Where is it used? The contractor or government may conduct RLAs. It is at the discretion of the government agency to determine what role the contractor will play in the process. If the contractor is to perform the entire LORA analysis, results of the analysis will be documented and supplied to the government for reviews and approval. Sometimes the government may require the contractor to only supply the data necessary to perform the RLA. It can be used on a complex engineering system containing thousands of assemblies, sub-assemblies, components, etc. organized into several levels of indenture and with several possible repair decisions. It should be conducted on every system acquisition program. RLA is an integral part of the systems engineering program and is applicable to all phases of the life cycle. RLA can be conducted as an economical or non economical RLA, or both. If an economical RLA is implemented, then as a prerequisite a non-economical process would be implemented.

  47. Input data requirements To initiate the RLA, the end-item design is reviewed for maintenance, maintainability, reliability, and cost. This is performed to discover any design consideration which could have an effect on the repair level to be selected. Policy, design alternatives, cost drivers, user requirements, acquisition strategy and program schedule requirements all play a part in putting together the scope of the effort. Data availability and robustness also need to be included in preparing the analytical scope and any sensitivities that should be considered. It can be considered as a two-stage process that determines where an item is destined to be repaired and to what level. The results of the process are based upon an economic and non-economic rational. A non-economic RLA is based upon a set of predefined questions, as given in Figure 1. Operational environmental restrictions and other maintenance constraints that may dictated by a customer could modify this logic. Once the non-economical RLA is complete the economical RLA provides a recommended repair strategy. Input requirements to perform the analysis has 12 categories (1) system information; (2) supply; (3) common labor; (4) transportation; (5) support equipment; (6) repairmen; (7) end item; (8) LRU; (9) SRU; (10) non-repairable LRU; (11) non-repairable SRU; and (12) special.

  48. Input data requirements (cont’d) (1) The system information data contains questions pertaining to how the item is to be modeled (ex. redundancy and end item floats). (2) The supply group is used for common supply related input data (ex. bin cost, documentation cost, etc.). (3) Common labor provides information used to perform maintenance tasks when no special repairman are required. (4) Examples of transportation items are; cost per pound for shipping and order and ship times. (5) Support equipment data pertains to any common or peculiar piece of support equipment required for diagnostics/repair of items being analyzed. (6) Repairmen relates to special repairmen required for performing maintenance tasks. Input requirements 7 thru 11 pertain to the items being modeled. The model can consider up to four levels of indenture (LRU, SRU, end item and piece parts). Data for the LRU’s, SRU’s and end item include: MTBF; MTTR; false removal rate; washout rate; weight and the support equipment required to repair each item. (12) The last data, special, performs special evaluations, such as discount rate and wholesale fill rate.
