Availability Drivers

Description:

​

• Assess diverse reasons why operational availability does not meet command expectation.

​​

• Analysis of operational measures, support analysis data and the processes, partners involved (the support solution).

​​

• Complexity of the task largely matches the complexity of the capability.

​​

• Support should be considered as early as concept but certainly by the design phase, continuing through subsequent phases.

Outputs:

​

Analysis of reporting measures, review of operations and support structures to identify solutions:

• Requirements management

​​

• Asset Management, Inventory Management and Supply Chain (Resilience and Responsiveness)

​​

• Logistic Support/Supportability Analysis

​​

• Logistics Information Systems – support for operations

​​

• Capability Sustainment and Life Extension

​​

• Integrated Logistics Support / Technical through-life Support Knowledge Transfer.

Benefits:

​

Will provide for an improved support solution through-life:

• Measures and controls – improved partnering with Industry Partners.

​​

• Objectives for support match the capability requirements.

​​

• Sustainable support – sustainability underpinned by effective Support Analysis.

​​

• Availability, Reliability and Maintainability – capture and analysis of data through-life to drive improvement.

​​

• Effective data capture, analysis, process and review to ensure that the capability achieves maximum availability, and its life is maximised.
