Abstract
The business environment is constantly changing. For organisations to gain competitive advantage, they require innovative methods to achieve future business goals. The capital assets of an organisation, such as its high-technology, complex systems, typically have long life-cycles, and are susceptible to obsolescence, requiring multifaceted support. Implementing integrated logistic support principles in supporting such systems improves the organisation’s bottom line and reduces the total ownership and life-cycle costs. The research consists of a literature review, a case study analysis, and a questionnaire.
Highlights
The business environment is in constant flux
Yoho, Rietjens and Tatham searched for the terms “defence logistics”, “military logistics” and “defense logistics” in key words, titles, abstracts and texts, and found 276 peer-reviewed journal articles between 1952 and 2010
Skills are limited, as personnel have either left the organisation or retired, and their knowledge might not have been transferred to junior personnel; so the loss of critical skills negatively affects the support of the system
Summary
For organisations to gain competitive advantage, they require innovative methods to achieve future business goals. The capital assets of an organisation, such as its high-technology, complex systems, typically have long life-cycles, and are susceptible to obsolescence, requiring multifaceted support. Implementing integrated logistic support principles in supporting such systems improves the organisation’s bottom line and reduces the total ownership and life-cycle costs.
