Chronic Logistic Support Problems After Transitioning.

摘要

This report provides visibility to some logistical support problems found to be common to a selected number of Navy and Air Force systems. By knowing the primary problems of existing systems, the principles of Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) can be more effectively applied. The problems of primary concern were found to be in the areas of technical data, support and test equipment, supply support, personnel training and computer/software support in general. The conclusions reached were: (1) All support problems can be reduced by reducing just the problems in the technical data area; (2) All problem areas can be significantly reduced through application of ILS principles; (3) Existing Air Force computer program systems can never be adequately supported; and (4) Provisions now exist for procuring supportable computer program systems. These are as directed by AFR 800-14 and AFR 800-14, Vol II.
