Maintenance Planning Process NarrativesOperations & Support Subsystem PhaseTitle: Update Logistics Significant ItemsBlock Reference Number: OS-16Version Control Number: MPP O&S 5-11-05Objective: The objective of reassessing Logistics Significant Item: is to identifyitems of special interest to the logistics program.An LSI is any item an individual program designates as of special significance tothe program, which may include the following relatively static concerns: costdrivers, hazardous material items, consumables not available in DoD inventory,long-lead items (particularly for long manufacturing lead times), firmware items,complex reparables, items requiring corrosion control, single-point failure items,life-limited items, age exploration items and/or any item that consumes aninordinate share of resources or requires special planning to support. They canalso include the following relatively dynamic concerns: cost reduction opportunityitems, obsolescence risk items, current readiness issues, and items identified asan immediate concern to the warfighter.The ILSO may want to restrict the use of the LSI label to relatively static issues,but anything can be listed as an LSI given accommodation of the dynamic natureof some data.Risks: Failure to reassess the Logistics Significant Items may lead to inadequateand/or incorrect support of the weapon system and/or support subsystem as thesystems progress through fielding. This may lead to systems being fielded withinadequate support which will result in higher costs than anticipated, incorrectmaintenance policies, less availability, larger logistics footprint and possiblyunsafe or environmentally demanding systems being fielded. This will become anissue when enough future failures crop up to raise concerns. By this point it willcost much more to be corrected.Responsibility: It is the responsibility of Log IPT; Syst Eng IPT; and theOEM/Contractor; to ensure Maintenance Significant Items are reassessed.Involvement of Others: OPFORRES, LOGCOMMechanisms: N/AInputs: Preliminary weapons system and support subsystem physical designand operating specifications and MEA.Outputs: Logistics Significant ItemsTiming: Following the receipt of the preliminary weapons system and supportsubsystem physical design and operating specifications, and the completion of3/15/2006 Page 17 of 24 Flowchart Control MPP V2.1
