Design for Maintainability: What Military Standards Do and Don't Say

Abstract

This literature survey consolidates and evaluates already existing Department of Defense guidance on Design-For-Maintainability (DFM), which is typically used for Air Force weapon system acquisition. DFM expertise is scattered among references from several engineering and logistics disciplines. Application in the acquisition process therefore tends to be equally fragmented. Consolidation of this information serves two functions. First, the information will be more readily accessed and applied. Second, the information may then be analyzed in total to determine which parts of DFM expertise are still weak within the Air Force; these areas should become the focus of the acquisition logistics research community.
