The Life Cycle Sustainment Plan (LCSP), a strategy document, describes the management and support tasks required to maintain a system from conception through retirement. It guides trading with important issues, including acquisition strategy, Configuration Management (CM), life cycle costs, and reliability growth planning.
Besides our custom Software Development services, we also provide sustaining engineering services by acknowledging that the Software Development process is only the beginning of the software lifecycle. Hence, find our extended comprehensive sustaining engineering services to aid our clients in maintaining their software systems and ensuring their complete functionality. Our developers are ready with their constant support, software maintenance, and updates, ensuring our client’s software systems operate continuously at maximum efficiency.
The CADMID Cycle is a framework that guides the Life Cycle Sustainment Plan (LCSP), ensuring that all project phases are covered and that optimal performance is achieved. The CADMID Cycle consists of six phases, each with its own set of activities and goals:
We include a thorough Configuration Management (CM) Plan within our LCSP to guarantee the integrity and stability of your IT infrastructure. This plan along with our Systems Engineering Plan specifies the processes and resources required to recognize, record, manage, and keep track of system settings changes over the system’s lifespan. We can reduce risks and disruptions to your operations by keeping correct configuration records and managing changes properly.
We at Qvise know the importance of an efficient acquisition strategy for accomplishing IT projects. Our LCSP includes a clear acquisition plan synchronizing your goals with the procurement procedure. We ensure a strategic approach to acquiring the required resources and competencies to fulfill our goals by considering variables like cost, time, and performance.
The cornerstone of each IT project is a clear Concept of Operations (CONOPS). It explains the system’s long-term objectives, vision, and operating concept. We develop a CONOPS by considering your suggestions and needs, which gives a clear picture of how the system will be utilized, its anticipated capabilities, and the operational setting in which it will operate.
We create an Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) as part of our LCSP to outline the necessary system capabilities and performance criteria. The ICD is a benchmark for subsequent development initiatives, guaranteeing a constant, laser-focused approach to satisfying your unique demands.
For the reliability and performance of your IT system, we incorporate a Reliability Growth Plan within our LCSP. This plan outlines the strategies and activities necessary to identify, analyze, and address potential reliability issues during the system’s development and operational phases. By proactively addressing reliability concerns, we minimize downtime and optimize system performance.
As your IT needs evolve, it is essential to develop a master module for enhancing system capabilities. Our LCSP includes a Capability Development Document (CDD) that outlines the steps required to meet future operational requirements.
