Abstract:

Integrated Logistic support (ILS) - is a combination of modern management, engineering and information technologies dedicated to development and support of system of exploitation of machine-building products. The core of ILS is a logistic support analysis (LSA). This is a complex of formal tasks around modelling of product and maintenance procedures needed to keep the product in necessary condition. Such model allows to estimate expected availability of the product and value of corresponding maintenance costs. During operation of product this model may be tuned up on the base of operational statistics. Some parameters of exploitation system may be also changed, such as maintenance tasks conditions and intervals, stratification of tasks between levels of repair, material management algorithms and so on.

It's quite obvious, practical implementation all this sophisticated methods requires great efforts as well as it requires methodical and normative support.

In 2006-2016 in Russian Federation are developed and implemented more than 30 National standards in the area of ILS. At the same time a number of software tools for LSA and creation of interactive maintenance / repair documentation were developed and implemented in different branches of industry (aircraft, shipbuilding, defense).

All this accumulated practices and experience allows to get close to new model of relation between Customer and Supplier, when a subject of the contract are not only services, but also the achievement of certain indicators of readiness (availability). Such modern approach now is known as Performance Based logistics.
