Reliability Cersus Cost Using OSAMM and LOGAM,
Abstract
The Reliability Versus Cost Using OSAMM LGAM Study was conducted as part of the AMC Reliability versus Cost Task Force. The report that was generated as a result of the study investigates two viable computer models for performing logistics (maintenance and support) cost versus reliability studies. Also, the report establishes and recommends guidelines for performing logistics cost versus reliability trade-offs. There were four main objectives of the study. The first was to determines if the Optimum Supply and Maintenance Model (OSAMM) and the Logistics Analysis Model (LOGAM) can be used to trade-off logistics cost versus reliability. The second was to determine feasible reliability allocation methods to develop the logistics cost versus reliability envelope of curves around the baseline reliability allocation. The third was to determine the impacts that utilizing maintenance and supply support optimization has on the logistics cost versus reliability curves. The fourth objective was to investigate input data required to execute OSAMM and LOGAM in the early life cycle phases. All these objectives were accomplished using actual data from a weapon system already fielded (M65 Airborne TOW Missile System).
