S3000L, International procedure specification for Logistics Support Analysis (LSA), Issue 2.0

With the introduction of modern complex technical products, a proper support system must be made available in a timely manner. This requires an extended analysis process to ensure consideration of product support requirements during the design of the product and its support system. The process includes a number of analysis activities concerning a wide range of technical and support considerations and the careful documentation of the results of these analysis activities. The achievement of proper supportability is of crucial importance concerning operation and life cycle costs. Early consideration of product support aspects is increasingly important with regard to both operational and economic aspects. A product that cannot be operated and maintained properly and cost effectively is not acceptable to the operator.

Additionally, a support solution must be scrutinized on a regular basis by analyzing operational and cost efficiency. For this purpose, optimization processes are required. In the S-series IPS specifications, those processes are In-Service Support Optimization (ISSO), documented in S3000L, and In-Service Maintenance Optimization (ISMO), documented in S4000P.

S3000L, International procedure specification for Logistics Support Analysis (LSA), is a trans-Atlantic specification that outlines the logistics support process that is required to improve the support of a product throughout its lifecycle.

The S3000L specification is designed to cover the activities and requirements governing the establishment of the LSA process.

S3000L:

• personnel and training
• supply support
• technical data services
• special support and test equipment
• facilities and infrastructure
• IT support
