Abstract
A high-technology complex system can be supported during its extended life by using an integrated logistics support system (ILSS). The process to develop an ILSS is used and is familiar in industrial and military complex systems. This paper discusses the advantages and implications of developing an ILSS for high-technology complex systems that are being used beyond their intended designed life. A literature review of the integrated logistics support (ILS), obsolescence, and diminishing manufacturer sources and material shortages (DMSMS) literature was conducted. The ILS and obsolescence components of several high-technology complex systems were studied for this paper.
Highlights
Logistics influences the global economy and organisations in two ways
Logistics facilitates the sale of goods and services and the associated customer service, including various economic transactions
The assumptions mentioned above need to be tailored to the development of an appropriate integrated logistics support system (ILSS): 1) Many complex high-technology systems are used beyond their intended life cycle, and suffer from obsolescence and system aging

OPSOMMINGn Hoë-vlak, tegnologies komplekse stelsel kan onderhou word gedurenden verlengde lewensiklus deur gebruik te maak vann geïntegreerde logistieke ondersteuningstelsel. Hierdie artikel bespreek die voordele en implikasies verbonde aan die ontwikkeling van son stelsel virn hoë-vlak, tegnologies komplekse stelsel wat in gebruik bly na die oorspronklike ontwerpleeftyd verstryk. Die geïntegreerde logistieke ondersteuning en verouderingskomponente van verskeie hoë-vlak, tegnologies komplekse stelsels is ondersoek
