Smarter Repair Decisions. Lower Life Cycle Costs.

Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) is a vital part of maintenance planning. It helps determine the most cost-effective strategy for repairing, replacing, or discarding system components, ultimately supporting smarter acquisition decisions and better operational outcomes.

What LORA Does for Your Program

Used widely by the Department of Defense (DoD), LORA identifies when and where maintenance should occur to achieve mission success while minimizing cost and downtime.

LORA helps optimize:

Life Cycle Costs (LCCs)

System availability and readiness

Maintenance task distribution

Manpower and personnel planning

Support equipment needs (including Automatic Test Equipment [ATE])

In complex systems with thousands of parts, LORA ensures each repair decision supports your broader performance and budget goals.
