4、s with the appropriate design center. Each issue is evaluated for logistics impacts, and this information is communicated to or within the design center so that appropriate action can be taken to initiate any required redesigns, modifications, or enhancements. A Kennedy Space Center (KSC) logistics

5、priority list is maintained to communicate logistics top concerns to design center management. While obsolescence will continue, a team approach to problem identification, prioritization, and resolution appears to be providing effective problem resolution. Additionally, the Shuttle upgrade program i
