Report of the Joint Industry - DoD Task Force on Computer Aided Logistic Support (CALS). Volume 5. Report of Technical Issues Subgroup.

Abstract

The Technical Issues Subgroup has considered many logistics issues and selected four of particular concern. These are: immediate needs for (1) a general logistics information model; (2) a set of design influence algorithms for logistics; (3) a logistics workstation; and (4) a kernel logistics system. Each of these items is recommended for project demonstration--probably through application of selected expert/knowledge-based concepts to replace the data-based techniques now in general use. The Subgroup considered and commented on several additional logistics issues including those relate to completely integrated system operations, proprietary rights, embedded electronics, surge situations, standards and many others. Each of these issues undoubtly is important, but the Subgroup feels that most of them should be revisited (reassessed) in terms of scope, objective, impact of new technology and sensitivity to nontechnical (policy or management) influences.
