Title: Computerized LCC/ORLA methodology. [Life cycle cost/optimum repair level analysis]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6455206

The effort by Sandia Laboratories in developing CDC6600 computer programs for Optimum Repair Level Analysis (ORLA) and Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis is described. Investigation of the three repair-level strategies referenced in AFLCM/AFSCM 800-4 (base discard of subassemblies, base repair of subassemblies, and depot repair of subassemblies) was expanded to include an additional three repair-level strategies (base discard of complete assemblies and, upon shipment of complete assemblies to the depot, depot repair of assemblies by subassembly repair, and depot repair of assemblies by subassembly discard). The expanded ORLA was used directly in an LCC model that was procedurally altered to accommodate the ORLA input data. Available from the LCC computer run was an LCC value corresponding to the strategy chosen from the ORLA. 2 figures.
