Best practice and guidance for ensuring that these systems meet sustainment objectives and satisfy user sustainment needs includes sustainment considerations in all phases of the program's life cycle. These acquisition lifecycle phases are formalized in DoDI , and offer PMs and PSMs guidance on the development and execution of effective LCSPs and the collaboration and information exchanges needed between sustainment and systems engineering communities. CH 4 Purpose of Life Cycle Sustainment Planning The Purpose of life cycle sustainment planning is to maximize readiness by delivering the best possible product support outcomes at the lowest Operating and Support (O&S) cost.
