Meta logistics

This Monograph is an attempt to explore the transition of current methods for design influence to design synthesis, of primary and enabling systems during system design to achieve improved operational effectiveness of fielded systems. Challenged is the notion of primary and enabling systems as separate, in achieving operational effectiveness, while embracing the development and governance of both, as separate systems. Achievement of Operational Effectiveness is to be accomplished through development of a System of Systems (SOS) model of primary and enabling systems called Meta logistics. The Meta logistics model emerges from an attempt to expand the "system boundary" or System of Interest (SOI); in order to frame, elucidate and analyze the causal relationships which are relevant to system design effectiveness, through shared contribution of primary and enabling systems, and in the process create a more robust trade space; by robust what is meant is more complete.
