logistics and supportability analysis, system design and development, the
production/construction phase, utilization, sustaining support and retirement
phases, and logistics management. For those interested in logistics engineering
and management.
There are many books that deal
with logistics from a commercial, business-related perspective, but
Logistics Engineering & Management, Sixth Edition covers the' subject
from the point of view of an engineer. The text introduces logistics from a
broad perspective to include all activities throughout the system life-cycle

planned life cycles. Also addressed are logistics and the maintenance support
infrastructure as a major element of the "system" from a total life-cycle
