Government
Sustainment Modeling
In lieu of returning to the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for the maintenance
of systems delivered to the fleet, the government has determined that it is more
cost effective to maintain the systems through their sustainment concept. The government
is now establishing sustainment facilities to accomplish this goal.
The GP Strategies Sustainment Model was derived from the
GP Strategies Cost Driver Modeling process. It defines the three phases
of sustainment as:
- Set-up
- Acquisition
- Operation support
The model looks at the process during the equipment conceptual phase and outlines
the tasks necessary to accomplish cost reductions throughout the sustainment process.
The article
“Sustainment Modeling for Project Managers”
(47KB PDF), first published in Projects & Profits
(ICAFI University Press, July 2007), provides an application of the
GP Strategies Sustainment Model to the life cycle maintenance of security boats.
