DMSMS process: - Ensures that all parts and material to produce or repair the platform are available. - Reduces, or controls, Total Ownership Cost (TOC). - Minimizes Total Life Cycle Systems Management (TLCSM) cost. - Eliminates, or at least minimizes, reactive DMSMS actions. - Evaluates design alternatives. - Provides for risk mitigation as it applies to DMSMS. - Evaluates more than one approach to resolve DMSMS issues. - Collects metrics to monitor process effectiveness.
