Abstract :
The authors introduce a logistics engineering workstation based on the Air Force´s R&M 2000 concepts and consistent with DoD´s concurrent engineering and computer-aided acquisition and logistic support (CALS) initiatives. The workstation uses the framework of a decision support system (DSS) to evaluate both the R&M (reliability and maintenance) and logistics impacts of weapon system design or modification on overall system performance. Thus, the objectives of R&M 2000 can be effectively managed within the concurrent engineering process
