Logistics return on investment (LOG ROI) measures value derived from resources expanded in order to help ensure that supportability considerations are emphasized in weapon system design. Current design practices: 1) ignore supportability considerations until the Full Scale Development (FSD) or Demonstration and Validation (D and V) phases when the potential LOG ROI has been greatly diminished; 2) duplicate Logistics Support Analyses (LSA) even through supportability evaluations are transferable due to shared technology; and 3) are costly and resource intensive, focusing on the acquisition of Logistics Support Analysis Record (LSAR) data. A structured assessment framework is needed that is flexible enough to be applicable to both the laboratory environment and the major weapon system acquisition process. This structured assessment framework is a guideline for how to perform LSA tasks, regardless of the phase of acquisition. It provides qualitative evaluations during early stages of development and quantitative evaluations on mature programs.
