exploration of models
what are the two types of logistics - ✔️✔️-Acquisition Logistics

its readiness for utilization and support - ensure supportability implications are
considered early and throughout the acquisition process
What does operational logistics focus on? - ✔️✔️ensuring the right materiel and
resources, in the right quantity and quality are available at the right place at the right
time throughout the utilization and support stages (supply chain management)

Define Cost-effective analysis - ✔️✔️The comparison of the relative spending and
outcomes associated with two or more courses of action
Cost-As-An-Independent-Variable - ✔️✔️builds on cost-effectiveness studies to
determine an objective cost for the system acquisition.
Define Interoperability - ✔️✔️The compatibility of elements of a large and complex
system to work as a single entity
Define Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCC) - ✔️✔️A method of economic evaluation which
takes into account all relevant costs of a system over a given period of time, adjusting
for differences in the timing of those costs.
Benefits of Life Cycle Cost analysis (LLC) - ✔️✔️-All costs associated with a system
become visible
-Supports an analysis of enterprise interrelationships
-Reinforces the importance of locked in costs
-Project managers can develop accurate revenue predictions

, What does manufacturing and producibility analysis do? - ✔️✔️-Determine if existing
proven processes are satisfactory
-Reduce risk, manufacturing cost, lead time, and cycle time and to minimize strategic or
critical materials use.
