Graphical Repair/Discard Analysis Procedure Handbook
Abstract
Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) is a process used to assist in the determination of the most economical maintenance policy for an item of equipment. Repair versus discard is an element of LORA. Before deciding how to repair an item it is necessary to decide whether or not it is worth repairing. One way of making this decision is to examine the cost difference between repairing the item and discarding it. The technique contained in this manual was developed in this Manner by use of the Interactive PALMAN Model (IPM). The first point of application for the GRAPH technique is during the concept phase as a means of performing comparative analyses and system tradeoff analyses. Application at this point is highly speculative and/or limited to smaller systems. The next point of application for the GRAPH technique is during the D&V phase of the life cycle, concurrent with hardware design and prior to DT/OT 1. Early application allows an opportunity to affect design and incorporate desirable maintainability features. The technique should be reiterated during each of the later phases as often as necessary to assure optimum maintenance planning and designed in maintainability.
