Structured Analysis and Structured Design for the Logistic Support Analysis (LSA) Task 303 Evaluation of Alternatives and Trade-Off Analysis, LSA Subtask 303.2.2, Trade-Off Between Support System Alternatives and System/Equipment Alternatives

Abstract

This report consolidates the Structured Analysis and Structured Design for the Logistic Support Analysis (LSA) Task. Included are the Data Flow Diagrams (DFDS) for the LSA Subtask 303.2.2, Trade-Off Between Support System Alternatives and System/Equipment Alternatives, and the corresponding descriptions of the processes, data flows, data stores, and external entities identified on each DFD. The DFDs are further developed into procedures which identifies how to use the data to carry out the processes and accomplish the LSA Subtask. Venture Evaluation Review Technique (VERT) Batch Input files are also provided to assist as tools, giving both technical and managerial aspects of a task. This Subtask concerns the evaluations and trade-offs (either internal, external or internal/external) between the support system alternative identified for each system/equipment alternative. Any new or critical logistic support resource requirement shall be identified and documented. Such trade-off analysis concerns the determination of optimum values between performance, design, operations and logistic support with part of the trade-off analysis covering cost effective analysis of the support system. The analysis is needed to provide the optimum mix between design, mission performance, logistic support and dollars expended for such support equipment.
