Logistics Engineering

At TCI our logistic engineering objective is to focus on the supportability requirements and alternatives for a system. Once the design interface requirements have been established our team performs supportability analysis using the guidelines in MIL-PRF-49506 and MIL-HDBK-502 to determine support requirements. This is followed by the development of PBL alternative studies, BCA, and development of the PBL system planning that optimizes total system availability while minimizing cost and logistics footprint.

Our logistic engineering analysis process utilizes LORA, LSA, RBS, and LCC modeling together with metric analysis methodologies, such as RCM, for evaluation of support alternatives focused on arriving at the "cost effective" solution. Once the supportability analysis baseline has been formulated, our team compiles supportability strategies that include cost, schedule, and risk management impacts for each. Our support strategies rely on a systematic approach to evaluating products and processes to meet discriminating customer requirements for affordable, available, sustainable performance objectives. DON "Performance Based Logistics (PBL) Guidance Document," DCMA "Performance Based Logistics (PBL) Support Guidebook," and DON NAVSO P-3960 are used to prepare the alternative support strategies and a weighted metric system to arrive at the cost-effective solution. TCI provides the following logistic engineering products and services:

• NELORA and ELORA analysis and trade-off studies.
• LSA and RCM analysis using LMI and logistic summary reports.
• RBS analysis for multi-echelon support levels.
• LCC analysis and trade-off studies.
• PBL alternative studies, BCA trade-offs, system plan development, and implementation.
