Supporting High-Technology Systems During Periods of Extended Life-Cycles by Means of Integrated Logistics Support

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. OPSOMMINGDie sake-omgewing verander voortdurend. Om ʼn kompeterende voordeel te verkry benodig organisasies innoverende metodes om toekomstige besigheidsdoelwitte te behaal. Die kapitaalbates van ʼn organisasie, soos hoë-vlak tegnologie en komplekse stelsels het tipies lang leefsiklusse en is geneig om te verouder, wat veelsydige ondersteuning vereis. Die implementering van logistiese ondersteuningsbeginsels in sulke stelsels verbeter die organisasie se winsgrens en verminder die totale eienaarskap-en leefsikluskostes. Hierdie navorsing bestaan uit ʼn literatuurstudie, ʼn gevallestudie analise en ʼn meningsopname vraelys.

An overview on the obsolescence of physical assets for the defence facing the challenges of industry 4.0 and the new operating environments

“…Depending on the case, it will be desirable to observe the applicability of methods of artificial intelligence (Machine Learning, Deep Learning), framed initially (for simplicity) in the concept of Integrated Logistic Support 4.0 for the establishment of decision-making processes, flow data and organizational structure that can certainly be implemented in the own assets ILS. As an academic added value, this paper stands aligned with the principles established by the current international defense sector, in the search for greater logistic efficiency [22] through an interconnected system among the members (Armies, Governmental Organizations and Companies from the allied countries), where innovation is encouraged and promoted [1], [16]. Finally, note that having operational armed forces requires today an advanced and competitive technological and industrial manufacturing.…”

Insights Into Beyond-Life Complex Systems Suffering From Obsolescence

“…Supporting and maintaining high technology complex systems in the developing world faces numerous challenges, especially those systems operated beyond designed life and which suffer from obsolescence [1]. In order to gain a competitive advantage, an organization requires different methodologies to attain its business goals and objectives [2]. And to gain and maintain a competitive advantage, the organisation's asset base needs to be managed adequately.…”
