Intergrated Logistic Support

 Our range of Integrated Logistics Support services. Integrated logistics in all stages of the life cycle, including support requirements is one of our core areas of expertise. At LSAust we understand the inter importance of the “integrated” aspect of these elements.

Our experience in both commercial and military systems, has shown how a lack of an entrenched ILS system can be make or break for a project, program or a product. Inadequacies in the supply chain and infrastructure can be damaging to your company’s reputation and can lead to the loss of a client. We are fully aware of how difficult it is to implement change after your equipment has been commissioned into service. Our emphasis is in getting it right the first time, and early.

Take advantage of our proven and professional ILS services to add value to your next project. Ensure the right support infrastructure is established at the outset and avoid costly and unnecessary remediation work later.

By applying a commonsense ILS approach to your acquisition project, your equipment and support system design will be influenced at the earliest opportunity, to help you achieve the following benefits:

• Minimisation of support requirements and costs.
• All support elements are acquired in coordination with the introduction of the new equipment.
• All support elements are verified and validated before the equipment is introduced into service or commissioned.
• Support infrastructure elements are optimally related to equipment design and to each other.
• Effective procedures and processes are developed to provide the support infrastructure.
• Equipment availability requirements are achievable and sustainable through life.
• Users and support staff are effective in operating and maintaining the equipment, and
• Disposal activities can be done cost effectively, and there are ‘no surprises’ when the time comes.

LSAust has a strong technical and engineering focus and apply proven Systems Engineering (SE) techniques to your project. All our SE consultants have engineering and/or technical qualifications and a range of additional skills and experience that compliment and underpin their systems engineering expertise. These include: effective written and oral communication, project management, integrated logistic support, commissioning, test and evaluation, transition management, fleet management, disposal, risk management, specification construction and configuration management.

We can provide you with SE best practice during concept feasibility and equipment acquisition, through to operations management. You receive value-for-money system solutions as we work closely with you every step of the way, from program inception through implementation to disposal.

LSAust employ technical regulatory guidelines and relevant standards to ensure the technical integrity is planned for and achieved. Major project milestones such as System Design Reviews, Preliminary Design Reviews, and Critical Design Reviews, right through to equipment acceptance and delivery, can be managed by LSAust.

We understand the need for traceability, thus ensuring technical integrity and testability of the engineering procedure and just as importantly, the required Support System.

This ensures that your requirements are accurately transformed into a defined system and documented, through a traceable process of requirements analysis, functional analysis, requirements allocation, synthesis, design optimisation, and validation and verification.

The above approach would be supported with bi-lateral requirements traceability to original definition documents, showing all relevant parent/child relationships and associated test derivations and requirements. If any part of the system definition or design changes, all associated impacts are analysed to determine the effect on their dependencies. Hence all changes to requirements, derivations and testing are captured, ensuring that configuration baselines are tightly managed and your original requirements are not compromised through invalid verification and validation.
