NAVSEA LEVEL OF REPAIR ANALYSIS (LORA) SOFTWARE
The US Naval Sea Systems Command recognised the need for a new Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) process to contend with problems encountered by logistics analysts. A new process was developed, validated with pilot tests cases and published as the NAVSEA LORA Procedures Manual (TL081-AB-PRO-010/LORA). As analysts accepted the process, it became apparent that a custom software application tool was required to adequately implement this LORA process. This paper provides the background for NAVSEA's LORA process and discusses one organization's success in bridging the gap between process and application for the user. The prototype development of the LORA software is described, explaining the benefits to user acceptance of the NAVSEA LORA procedures. The paper recommends further improvements and initiatives related to the LORA software, discussing the process in terms of continuous improvement for effective developments.
