Mr. Larry Hopp, CPL

2. Design for Logistics and Supportability
Design in Logistics and Supportability from the beginning.
Hard and expensive to change after design configuration has been established.
Logistics and Maintenance Support Infrastructure is a major element of your system
Depends on Reliability, maintainability, and human factors.
Goal - Right Asset, Right Place, Right Time

3. Definition and Explanation
Logistics and Support Infrastructure
Initial purchasing and acquisition
Manufacture/production
Transportation and Distribution
Installation of system at customer sites
Sustaining maintenance
Support of system throughout the life cycle
Integrated with the other design elements
Goal - Right Asset, Right Place, Right Time

4. Figure System development, production/construction, operational, logistics, and maintenance support activities.

5. Figure 15.2 Logistics and supply chain activities.

6. Figure 3.14 System operational and maintenance flow.

7. Integrated Logistics Support
Disciplined, Unified, Iterative approach
Integrate support considerations into system and equipment design
Develop support requirements related to readiness objects and to design
Acquire the required support
Provide the required support during the operational phase at minimum cost.
Pay me now or pay me later

8. Acquisition Logistics
Supports the:
Design
Development
Test
Production
Fielding
Sustainment
Wartime readiness requirements
Goal - Right Asset, Right Place, Right Time

9. Logistics in the SOS Environment
Effective and efficient
Responsive to the new system requirements
Compatible
Does not degrade other systems
Address system operability requirements early in the design process
Goal - Right Asset, Right Place, Right Time
