Level of Repair Analysis (LORA)
• Analytical Methodology used to establish the maintenance policy at which an item will be replaced, repaired, or discarded
• Determines cost effective maintenance concept of a system
• Recommendations based upon economic and non-economic factors
Unclassified

LORA Overview
Supports development of maintenance policy
Utilizes Multiple Data Sources
• LPD
• FMECA/FTA
• MTA
Results
• Optimized balance between Operational Availability and Maintenance Cost
• Drives the Product Support Strategy and Product Support Package

LORA continually influences and supports decisions.

Why Conduct a LORA
6
Operations and Maintenance typically accounts for most of Total Ownership Cost (TOC)
LORA optimizes life cycle logistics support cost • Logistics Footprint• Design Influence and Optimization
Savings from a properly conducted LORA can be in the millions of dollars

“Starting the LORA process early in a system’s development, and continuous evaluation throughout its life cycle, can ensure a LORA influences the systems’ design and the maintenance planning… After the system has been fielded, follow-on analyses should be scheduled that include the use of field feedback data. The extent and detail of LORA should be tailored to the life cycle phase of the program.”

During design phases, LORA shows consequences of various maintenance configurations by evaluating the non-economic factors and the high-level cost of logistics support for each alternative
LORA measures the cost of failure frequency and failure duration (downtime), and thus influences the design for more cost-effective alternatives
Potential problems with operational availability, life cycle maintenance costs, etc., are identified and avoided
After design is approved, LORA minimizes the requirement for spares and support resources
The approved maintenance plan anticipates future equipment repair workloads, and ensures the availability of proper parts, trained technicians, support equipment, tools, and facilities
A properly constructed and funded maintenance structure minimizes downtime durations affordably

Understanding LORA
Unclassified
Unclassified
Lessons Learned
Focus on Failure Modes– End Item LRU SRU
– Resultant policies are specific to the failure mode
– Resultant spares are per item
– Supply Action
Importance of Maintenance Perspective– 3 Level Indenture
– Access is not replacement
– Focus on Failure Modes
Importance of LORA Community Connection– Source of software feedback
– Making LORA understandable
