Superseding TA-STD-0017
(R) Product Support Analysis
RATIONALE
This standard has been reformatted from TechAmerica to SAE style formats and rules and has been revised to incorporate
updates to various Product Support Analysis (PSA) activities.
FOREWORD (INFORMATIVE)
This standard provides general requirements and activity descriptions governing performance of Product Support Analysis
(PSA) during the life cycle of products. This standard applies to all system acquisition programs, major modification
programs, and applicable research and development projects through all phases of the product life cycle. This standard is
for use by both industry and Government activities performing PSA on products to which this standard applies.
This standard was developed by the SAE Life Cycle Logistics Supportability (LCLS) Committee. For further information
about SAE TA-STD-0017 or how to participate in the SAE LCLS, please refer to the following URL:
