Abstract
Logistics has a profound effect on a product′s life cycle. Examines each of the nine elements of logistics: logistics engineering, technical publications, personnel technical training, spare/repair parts provisioning, maintainability, relability, finance, test equipment and facilities. Suggests that each element has a distinct responsibility to the product and each contributes to the work of the others in the network. Argues that miscalculations at any level are compounded by each network contributor, resulting in the customers feeling the impact in several different areas.
