Abstract

In all MOD procurement programmes, LCC is a prime metric in the selection process. The single biggest portion of a weapons system's LCC is the Logistic Support Cost (LSC). This paper will address the major considerations, models and analytical methods currently employed by the RAF to achieve maximum aircraft operational capability for the minimum LSC and analytical effort. The paper is broken into 2 distinct areas: introduction to service and through life support.
