LCSP Section / Considerations
Introduction / Does the strategy require sustainment technology development?
Product Support Performance / Have the Warfighter requirements (including planned operational environment and availability) been included in the draft CDD and decomposed to affordable sustainment design-to requirements (both weapon system and support systems)?
Product Support Strategy / Have the plans for maintenance, supply, technical data, and manpower been defined such that cost and schedule estimates can be made? Are there alternatives? Are there planned sustainment trades?
Product Support Arrangements / Have the TMRR phase sustainment-related tasks been identified? Are legacy/analogous system PSAs applicable?
Product Support Package Status / Have the specific design features the PSM will assess in the TMRR phase design reviews been identified?
Regulatory/Statutory Requirements that Influence Sustainment / Has core depot applicability been addressed? Has the program included how and when the requirements will be met?
Integrated Schedule / Are logistics objectives linked to Program milestones. This includes Initial Operational Capability) (IOC), Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E), Full Operational Capability (FOC), Material Support Date (MSD), etc.? Are major logistics events identified in sufficient detail for estimating sustainment costs? Are analyses phased to support milestones?
Cost / Funding / Affordability / Are O&S Cost affordability goals established? Has a program office Life Cycle Cost Estimate (LCCE) been developed? Are there Should Cost management targets for sustainment?
Management / Is the PSM in place? Are IPTs in place to address TMRR phase sustainment issues? Does the program/LCSP address competition across the system life cycle?
Supportability Analysis / What analyses ensure affordable logistics and readiness (Level of Repair Analysis [LORA], depot support, organizational manning, use studies)? What alternatives have been identified as Should Cost initiatives?
Additional Sustainment Planning Factors / Are O&S Cost drivers for the legacy/analogous system and risk identified?
LCSP Annexes / Are sustainment Cost Estimates and their drivers identified?
