LEMS is an automated tool to track the Life Cycle Engineering aspects of major equipment and
weapons systems. It was developed specifically for tracking the full life cycle engineering and
logistics support functions associated with the USCG’s newest class of boat, the Response Boat -
Medium. This systems assists in delivering the right parts, information and service support at the
right time, place and cost to maximize operational capability and effectiveness. A comprehensive
configuration status accounting capability facilitates the development and fielding of boat upgrades
through tracking of Engineering Proposals (ECPs). Other components track technical documentation,
scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, and engineering baselines.
LEMS - LifeCycle Engineering Maintenance System
Maintenance Management (MM) Module: This module lets you track who, what, where, when and how
maintenance has been or will be accomplished looking forward to forecast future needs or backward to determine
parts used. Using manufacturers’ reliability data, all preventive maintenance actions are scheduled according to
skill codes, forecasted operational tempo, and maintenance philosophy.
Configuration Status Accounting (CSA) Module: This module provides in-depth configuration and data
management functionality to account for every major model, series and make of traceable configuration item on
any hardware.
Engineering Change (EC) Module: As changes are requested or proposed, their status (evaluation and approval
process) are maintained and tracked in this module.
Document Management (DM) Module: This module makes it easy to manage all technical documentation
including technical drawings, CAD drawings, schematics, tech manuals, and training materials. All changes are
flagged so that content management changes can be made to related documentation. Operators and maintainers
can go to one location to find all their technical updated documents.
Warranty Administration Module: All parts in the inventory are track to indicate they are under warranty and the
scope of the warranty is tracked – either calendar period or hours of usage. As defects are recorded in the
maintenance module they are automatically cross-checked for appropriate warranty status. If under warranty the
original equipment manufacturer is contacted.
Spare Parts / Provisioning Module: This module tracks Provisioning Parts Lists (PPLs), Allowance Parts Lists (APLs),
and all Provisioning Technical Documentation (PTD) and integrate that information with the Document
Management module for all components of the system.
