碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 機械工程學研究所 === 91 === Logistics is a kind of knowledge that integrates science and sociology. It collects human experiences, intuition, judgments and quantitative analysis that result to a logical decision. To add logistic support consideration at the first stage of systematic design period may effectively increase reliability, maintainability and availability of a system. Thus decreases operation and support cost of that system. 　　Most of the previous research focused on how reliability, maintainability and availability affect a logistic system. However, life cycle cost (LCC) was not included to magnify the results. In long-term observation, operation and support costs greatly affect life cycle cost. Thus lead to the interest of analyzing the effectiveness of logistic parameters to the operation and support costs. 　　This work analyze reliability, maintainability and availability that affect operation and support costs. Referring to USA MIL-STD-1388-2B specification, some major items will be selected so as to establish operation and support costs of a system. A folklift vehicle is chosen as a case study to understand its performance.
