LengyelSubject: Space Shuttle Program/Logistics/Spares Support Description of Driving Event: Line-Replaceable Unit (LRU) Restoration and UpgradingLesson(

2、s) Learned: Support of the Space Shuttle fleet with operational spares has been maintained by the effective efforts of the logistics function. While spares support has been adequate for the current flight rate, any increase in flight rate might not be supportable.Recommendation(s): Although NASA has

3、 established programs for dealing with suppliers and bringing additional component overhaul “in house,“ efforts in these areas need to be continuously reexamined to speed up the restoration and upgrading of line-replaceable units. Such efforts are especially needed to eliminate “dead“ time while uni

4、ts are awaiting restoration.Evidence of Recurrence Control Effectiveness: The Space Shuttle Program concurs with the ASAP concerns for the availability of line replaceable units (LRUs). Logistics monitors LRU spares posture through the probability of sufficiency calculations within the LRU data syst

5、em. This system can be programmed to determine spares requirements for various flight rates. At this time, an appreciable increase in flight rate would be required to jeopardize supporting the Space Shuttle Program with most of the current LRUs. The Program has been proactive in upgrading LRUs where

6、 the most pressing fleet support concerns exist. The following upgrades are in progress:Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-1. The air data transducer assembly is being replaced by the advanced air data transducers.2. The master events co

This could potentially eliminate a number of LRUs in the displays and controls system and tactical air navigation system.4. New s

Solid state recorders are being considered as replacements for the operations and payload recorders. This effort is presently in

9、the design definition phase.Additionally, through the use of industrial engineering principles and work teams, Logistics has taken action to reduce the NASA Shuttle Logistics Depot (NSLD) backlog and increase output for fiscal year 1998. To date, backlog has decreased 8 percent since October 1 by in

10、creasing output. These efforts are aimed at providing better support at the current flight rate but are also the type of efforts that will allow higher flight rates in the future.Documents Related to Lesson: N/AMission Directorate(s): a71 Space Operationsa71 Exploration SystemsAdditional Key Phrase(
