The need for life cycle maintenance of LSA data

The Logistics Support Analysis (LSA) is the primary tool used to merge logistics engineering concerns into a systems engineering design approach. While the principal goals of the LSA are met by the time equipment deployment begins, there remains a need to maintain parts of the LSA database throughout the remainder of an item's life cycle and a need to consider expanding the coverage of the current database. The benefits to be realized include an improved ability to plan, program, and budget for a system's logistics support, modification, and replacement.<
