A Study on a Lifecycle Management Model for Improving LCSP Management Processes in Weapon Systems

Key Points

• This research aims to enhance the efficiency of life cycle sustainment plan (LCSP) management processes in weapon systems.
• Developed a lifecycle management model targeting LCSP inefficiencies.
• Formalized LCSP processes using a probabilistic model and applied Monte Carlo Simulation for quantitative analysis.
• Integrated data analysis features into a lifecycle management system (LCMS) framework.
• Proposed model achieved approximately 44% reduction in processing time compared to existing methods.
• Improved efficiency particularly noted during information collection and technology analysis phases.
• Decreased variability in processing time, leading to a more stable management process.
