Sustainment, as commonly understood by industry and government, encompasses a range of maintenance, support, and upgrade practices aimed at sustaining or enhancing the performance of a system while optimizing the availability of goods and services, all while minimizing their cost and environmental impact. This multifaceted endeavor is a multi-trillion-dollar industry, particularly for critical systems in government (infrastructure and defense) and industry (transportation, industrial controls, data centers, and energy generation).
This book is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of sustainability and sustainable product life cycles. It combines engineering, operations research, and policy sciences to equip students with the knowledge and appreciation of the critical importance of sustaining critical systems. The book begins by exploring the key attributes necessary for system sustainment, including data analytics, engineering analysis, and the public policies required to support the development of technologies, processes, and frameworks essential for managing sustainable processes and practices.
The specific topics covered in this book include the acquisition of critical systems, reliability, maintenance, availability, readiness, inventory management, supply-chain management, risks, contracting for sustainment, and various analysis methodologies such as discounted cash flow analysis, discrete-event simulation, and Monte Carlo methods. Each chapter concludes with practice problems to reinforce the concepts learned.
By delving into these topics, this book aims to empower students with the skills and knowledge necessary to contribute to the sustainability and resilience of critical systems in today's rapidly changing world.
