Integrated Logistics Support (ILS)

Logistics Support: The key to Life Cycle Management!
Are you looking to get the most out of your organization’s life cycle management? If so, integrated logistics support (ILS) is an essential component. ILS provides the bridge between engineering design and operational performance. It ensures that all resources necessary to support a product or service are available when needed. Read on to learn more about how ILS can help your business succeed.

What is Integrated Logistics Support?

Integrated logistics support is a critical part of life cycle management. It starts already in the early design stages and focuses on what will be needed to support a product all the way from cradle to grave. Its purpose is to provide effective and cost-efficient solutions ensuring product availability, reliability, and maintainability throughout the entire product lifecycle.

ILS also focuses on improving product performance and reducing costs by looking at maintenance strategy and planning, spare parts and procurement, special tools, stock sizes and locations, staffing, training technical documentation, repair strategies, and other related tasks.

Why is ILS necessary?

Within life cycle management, ILS is important because it helps your organization to improve the supportability of your products or services while optimizing cost. It helps reduce unnecessary downtime and get things running when they should be running, i.e., ready-to-support products, and avoid unnecessary downtime.

ILS facilitates the development of effective maintenance and maintenance support strategies that maximize system availability while optimizing the balance between costs and support activities.
