A review of integrated logistics support systems for ships

Traditional ship support systems and modes cannot meet the needs of current new ship development. Through deeply developing integrated logistics support for ship equipment, we can solve the unsynchronized problem of the development of the main equipment and its supporting resources, thereby promoting the simultaneous formation of support capabilities after the delivery of new ships. Based on an analysis of the support requirements for the life cycle of ship equipment and practical engineering, this paper proposes a technical system and working system for integrated logistics support. This paper systematically analyzes three technologies for the design of support characteristics, design of the integrated support system and operations and maintenance support. It then discusses the general, system and facility support work of users and responsible units during the design, construction and service of a ship. Our proposed technical and working systems can develop integrated logistics support towards integration, systematization and intellectualization in order to efficiently maintain the combat effectiveness of a ship.
