Level of Repair Analysis (LORA)
The reason to perform LORA is to establish the most cost-effective repair level or discard alternative in order to perform maintenance actions. Maintenance planning relies on LORA as a function of the acquisition process. LORA is used by the Department of Defense (DoD) as an analytical methodology in order to determine when an item will need to be replaced, repaired, or discarded based on cost considerations and operational readiness requirements.
LORA optimizes the support system in terms of Life Cycle Costs (LCCs), readiness objectives, design for discard, maintenance task distribution, support equipment and Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), and manpower and personnel requirements.
Complex engineering systems contain thousands of assemblies, sub-assemblies, and components, each organized into several levels of indenture with a number of possible repair decisions. LORA seeks to determine an optimal provision of repair and maintenance facilities in order to minimize overall system LCCs.
It is important to review all of the details in order to provide clients with actionable information. DTB addresses this aspect so that you can focus on the other areas of your business.
