COG

200

This code is assigned to an item of supply to identify the period of time beginning with the date of manufacture/cure/assembly/pack and terminated by an expiration date or be subjected to inspection/test/restoration/disposal action.

Shelf Life Code

300

LOGISTICS PRODUCT DATA

100

Designed to be used in the preparation of technical manuals, this report provides a listing of support items and skill specialty requirements needed to perform maintenance tasks.

Task Analysis Report (LSA-019)

200

Typically performed during the conceptual and initial design phases of the system, this analysis is conducted to assure that all potential failure modes have been considered and the proper provisions have been made to mitigate or eliminate these failures.

Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)

300

An analytical methodology used to assist in developing maintenance concepts, influencing design, and establishing the maintenance level at which components will be replaced, repaired, or discarded based on economic/noneconomic constraints and operational readiness requirements.

Level of Repair Analysis (LORA)

400

This decimal represents the predicted number of times that a consumable item will require replacement in one maintenance cycle below the Depot (at the Organizational or Intermediate) level of maintenance, which may also be represented as [100/MTTF]

Maintenance Replacement Rate (MRR)

500

This report contains the data required for initial and follow-on provisioning of an end item, and is used in the selection procedures to identify repair parts requirements in support of the equipment to be fielded.
