What does supportability mean?
Supportability refers to the inherent characteristics of the system and the enabling system elements that allow effective and efficient sustainment (including maintenance and other support functions) throughout the system’s life cycle.
Is supportability a word?
capable of being supported; endurable; maintainable.
What is supportability requirements?
Supportability. Supportability is the degree to which system design characteristics and planned logistics resources meet system requirements. Supportability is the capability of a total system design to support operations and readiness needs throughout the life-cycle of a system at an affordable cost.
What do you mean by maintainability?
Maintainability is defined as the probability that a failed component or system will be restored or repaired to a specified condition within a specified period or time when maintenance is performed in accordance with prescribed procedures.
What is supportability testing?
Supportability must be assessed and tested throughout the life of a system to ensure that all requirements are being met. Assessment and testing are a continual process rather than just a one-time event at some point during the life of a system.
What is the purpose of supportability analysis?
The goal of supportability analysis is to reduce logistics and maintenance costs and increase availability by optimizing the support system and influencing the system design.
What is a supportability analysis what is its purpose and what is included when is it accomplished in the system life cycle?
Supportability analysis is an iterative activity conducted during the system’s development, and is used by the PM and Product Support Manager to develop and define the system’s support strategy. It includes sustainment-related should-cost management and risk and opportunity management efforts across the life cycle.
How does supportability analysis fit into the design process?
Supportability Analysis is a method that delivers a basis for decision making regarding measures that reduce maintenance cost and increase availability by optimizing the support system or influencing system or equipment design.
What are non functional requirements?
Nonfunctional Requirements (NFRs) define system attributes such as security, reliability, performance, maintainability, scalability, and usability. They serve as constraints or restrictions on the design of the system across the different backlogs.
Which defense acquisition system phase focuses on executing the planned delivery?
During the Production and Deployment (P&D) phase, the sustainment function in the program shifts from planning to execution and oversight. The PM, with support from the PS IPT, executes the planned delivery, verification, and deployment of the product support package to support the early production items.
Which defense acquisition system phase provides the first opportunity to influence the supportability?
Materiel Solution Analysis (MSA) Phase
The Materiel Solution Analysis (MSA) Phase provides the first opportunity to influence the supportability and affordability of weapon systems by balancing Warfighter requirements and operational capabilities with support capacity, capability, and cost.
What is EMD phase?
The Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD) Phase is where a system is developed and designed before going into production. The EMD Phase starts after a successful Milestone B which is considered the formal start of any program.
What does the designation core mean regarding a weapon systems acquisition?
The designation as “Core” only means the government must have an organic capability. As long as that capability is established and sufficient workload is provided to the organic depot to maintain that capability, the letter and spirit of the law is maintained.
