Tailoring the Tasks of Logistics Support Analysis (LSA).

Abstract

This thesis was an attempt to develop simple, usable guidance for tailoring the tasks of Logistics Support Analysis (LSA). Guidance was developed using the techniques of expert panel review and problem analysis. A trial case, based on a multiple phase nanjamor acquisition program, was constructed to test the validity of the guidance. Eight individuals directly responsible for tailoring LSA participated in the test and were interviewed immediately upon its completion. Results from the test indicate that the guidance is valid if used for its intended purpose; to make the initial selection of subtasks for a proposed contract. Test participants indicated that the guidance made the job of tailoring LSA easier and that they would used it if it were available. A structural problem with the guidance caused a higher rate of irrelevant task selection than was anticipated. A simple solution to this problem is discussed. Further testing and refinement of the guidance, followed by programming on the Zenith 100 series computer, is recommended.
