Logistics Engineering & Management

<p><em>For Industrial Engineering courses focusing on logistic engineering and management.</em></p><p>An authoritative exploration of logistics management within the engineering design and development process, this book concentrates on the design, sustaining maintenance and support of <em>systems</em> from a lifecycle perspective. This is the only text that deals with logistics and system support: (1) as an integrated entity and an integral part of the overall structure of a total ¿system¿; (2) from a total system life-cycle perspective¿om the initial identification of a need through design and development, production, utilisation and support, and retirement and material disposal; and (3) as a major consideration early in the system life cycle during the system engineering design and development process.</p>
