Abstract
The introduction of technology into modern defence necessitates integrated computerized information systems to render effective and efficient logistic support. Traditional information system development does not ensure attainment of use and time scale requirements in the continuously developing environment of logistics. This paper describes current approaches to the development of logistic information systems.
Highlights
The objective with this paper is to describe current approaches being applied in the development of logistic information systems ...Logistics is seen as the collection of activities required for the acquisition provisioning, distribution and maintenance of materiel, facilities and services and the movement of materiel and personnel in support of actions by military forces
This paper describes current approaches to the development of logistic information systems
This part defines the major current approaches applied in the design of the logistic information systems
Summary
The objective with this paper is to describe current approaches being applied in the development of logistic information systems. The approaches described in this paper stems from the experience that traditional information system development approaches does not ensure attainment of use and time scale requirements. These approaches are currently being applied in a major logistics information systems development program. Objects are defined as the actual weapon and operational support systems. Weapon systems defined as "objects", typically "exists" through the total life cycle pattern o Need identification and evaluation of options. O Requirement definition and development of the weapon system to satisfy the need, o Production, introduction into service and fielding of the object system.
