SLRS Equipment Specialists help develop metrics based on SLRS specifications, standards, and performance history; these metrics establish baselines for: root cause analyses; change request evaluation; supportability analyses; cost measures analyses (to include rework rates); trend analyses (both cost and performance); logistics planning; and for determining mission effectiveness, reliability, and maintainability assessments. The SLRS Equipment Specialists role continues with product improvement support, including technical changes to procurement specifications, evaluating engineering change proposals, and supportability assessments.
