Abstract :
Methodology has been developed that allows identification of supportability design criteria and quantification of total field logistics support requirements. Interface with design engineers via computer-aided design (CAD) workstations is describe. Specific development efforts include: a maintenance discrepancy database that is used to provide cause and effect relationships; impact of associated maintenance tasks; automated like and similar analysis capabilities; and use of expended maintenance importance ratio
