Logistics Programs


CARE® LSA - Logistic Support Analysis (http://www.bqr.com)

The Mini-LSA module, one of the CARE® family members, provides the logistics engineer with analysis and planning capabilities for the project Logistics Support requirements.
As part of the Integrated Logistics Support Plan (ILSP), the system maintenance engineers define the maintenance concept that is required to keep the system working. The Mini-LSA uses this definition in order to produce the maintenance reports and calculate the spare parts quantities.
The Mini-LSA tool provides very simple and straightforward method to define the system maintenance concept and provide details for each one of the system assemblies.
The CARE® Mini-LSA follows the guidelines of MIL-STD-1388-2, DOD Requirements for a Logistics Support Analysis Record and commercial philosophy.

CHEAP (Cost Effectiveness Analysis Program) (Systems Effectiveness Associates)

Analyzes field service costs, warranty costs, and costs of ownership. Establishes sparing requirements. Creates a database for development, production, operation, and support costs. Capable of recommending support personnel and work loading. Calculates system up-time. CHEAP allows for engineers and managers to examine life-cycle costs of a product. 

CORIDA (Management Sciences)

Computes optimum spares requirements based on costs for availability goals. Interfaces to PPCM spreadsheet for support costing. Models reality of sites, skills, usage quantities for selected time periods. Computes raw costs of availability. 

D-LCC    (ALD)

D-LCC is an innovative software for decision making based on the Life Cycle Cost and Total
Ownership Cost (TOC) calculation and analysis. D-LCC allows to create a flexible cost model
based on the Cost Breakdown Structure and specific Product/Work Breakdown  Structure.
Logisticians would appreciate the D-LCC calculation and report features, which make the
LCC-based decision making easy.


ISLE (Integrated Spares and Logistics Evaluation System) (Advanced Logistics Developments)

An automated spare parts-cost-availability optimization program. Features: spare part calculations, life support cost analysis, manpower planning, optimal repair level analysis, logistics evaluations, sensitivity analysis, report & generation capability. Management of data necessary for spare parts and logistics analysis. 

Logistics Support Analysis (Management Sciences)

Determines the range and depth of spare parts needed to support a defined mission at a specified level. Input data based upon information needed to perform FMECA. Downtime plus time to procure a part are coupled with cost data. The data is ranked by event frequency (risk), and support urgency (benefit). Spare parts recommendation is created by the report generator. Recommendations biased by human anxiety factors through the risk and benefit inputs. 

RAM Commander - SpOpt    (ALD)

SpOpt - is the spare parts analysis and optimization module based on the cost and logistics
criteria. RAM Commander is the world pioneering software providing everything for reliability
prediction & modeling based on one of the prediction models for electronic (MIL-HDBK-217,
Bellcore, British Telecom, French Telecom,  ItalTel, etc.), as well as mechanical and
electro-mechanical equipment . RAM Commander performs additional tasks related to reliability
analysis and evaluation: Reliability Allocation, Pareto Analysis, Reliability Growth, Temperature
curve, Mission Profile, RBD with Monte Carlo Simulation, Spare Parts Optimization,
Maintainability Prediction, comprehensive parts libraries, user-friendly interface and easy to use
Import/ Export (including to/from FMECA and FMEA).


R/M/L CATSOP (Rel., Maint., and Logistics Computer Aided Tailoring) (Rome Labs)

An expert system for tailoring MIL-STD-785, "Reliability Program Plan, MIL-STD-470, "Maintainability Program Plan", and MIL-STD-1388A, "Logistics Support Analysis" to specific systems. Takes into account the information pertinent to system requirements, maintenance concepts, mission needs, acquisition phases, funding levels, use of environment, etc. This information makes possible a definition of scope, character and make-up of each task in each standard. 

Relex LCC - Life Cycle Cost (Relex Software Corporation)

Relex LCC is a very powerful and flexible life cycle cost analysis tool. It allows you to calculate the cost of your product over its lifetime. By taking inflation factors into account, you can easily perform trade-offs of various alternatives. Capabilities include a user friendly interface, user-definable Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS), built-in equation editor, net present value (NPV) calculations, ability to define time intervals and various alternatives, sensitivity analyses, and full integration with the other Relex modules. Relex is the industry leading R&M software package and incorporates MIL-HDBK-217, Bellcore, and Mechanical Reliability Predictions, graphical Reliability Block Diagrams, FMEAs, FMECAs, Maintainability Predictions, RCM and Life Cycle Cost analyses, and Fault Tree analyses in one completely integrated tool. 

SpareCost (Item Software)

Calculates Spares required for equipment supported at Sites and Base. Optimizes scale of spares at sites for minimum cost. 

Sparecost (Mitchell & Gothier)

Spares optimization, offers an easy and accurate way to calculate the replacement spares holdings required at both "Site" and "Base" locations, given a defined stock-out risk. Site spares are also optimized to minimize the cost of spares holding. Includes default values, requires actual items and their failure rates. 

STOCKOPT (Rex Thompson & Partners)

Program to optimize spares holdings. Takes into account cost, weight, quantity, volume, or user- specified parameters.
