LES and PSMC Win C130J Phased Servicing Improvement Project Phase2
LES and PS Management Consultants (PSMC) recently tendered for and won, RFQTS 5752 C130J Phased Servicing Improvement Project (PSIP) Phase 2, with LES named as the subcontractor to complete the scope of work.
The C130J Phased Servicing Improvement Project (PSIP) is a key element in Air Lift Group (ALG) and Air Lift Systems Program Office's (ALSPO) Airlift Mobility Improvement Program (AMIP). Its aim is to review the current C130J Phased Servicing Schedule (PSS) philosophy in comparison to industry standards / Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) recommendations and to identify and implement a more efficient approach in order to improve capability with no negative impact upon airworthiness, which may involve:
- reducing the number of aircraft phased servicing visits,
- decreasing the physical supply pool demand, and
- delivering an improvement in aircraft Operational Availability (Ao).
Phase 2 of the project involves the evaluation of opportunities and development of options and associated business case to support funding approval for project implementation.

February 2010 - Australian Defence Magazine (ADM) Awards
ASHPO and LES win The Essington Lewis Trophy for Excellence in Collaboration between the DMO and a SME in 2009. The citation states:
"As a team you have consistently provided exceedingly high quality products ahead of time in an environment of tight production deadlines. You have partnered together, and with other Super Hornet stakeholders both here and in the US, to develop these essential Super Hornet maintenance products and proactively addressed emergent challenges. Your customer engagement and dedication to supporting the introduction of the Super Hornet capability to Australia has been exemplary."
LES and ASHPO were also awarded The 2009 DMO/Industry Team of the Year Award for Excellence in the Rapid Acquisition Category. The citation states:
"For your rapid development of the Super Hornet Logistic Support Analysis database and associated maintenance documentation including Technical Maintenance Plans, Planned Servicing Schedules, authorised spares listings and the initial loading of the Air Force's Computer Aided Maintenance Management System. Your outstanding efforts have ensured that Air Force will be able to maintain the new fleet of Super Hornet aircraft upon their introduction into service in March 2010."
In addition they jointly received The 2009 DMO/Industry Team of the Year Award for Outstanding Achievement in Major Acquisition. The citation states:
"For bringing that magic 'X' factor to the implementation of this very significant project at an extraordinary pace. Key to the timely introduction of the Super Hornet aircraft into ADF service has been the partnership forged between you. That extraordinary partnership featured a structured and collaborative approach, a focus on risk management, and above all, a focus on timely outcomes. The ability of the RAAF to operate the fleet of Super Hornet aircraft on arrival in Australia on the 23 March 2010 will be in large part due to the quality of the collaboration between you."
LES would like to take this opportunity to thank ASHPO for actively contributing to the environment that forged such a successful and on-going partnership, and the ADM and DMO for the recognition of our joint efforts during 2009.

September 2008 - BAE SYSTEMS AND MARSHALL AEROSPACE
BAE SYSTEMS AND MARSHALL AEROSPACE SELECT LES SOFTWARE
Logistic Engineering Services (LES) has secured an initial order from the BAE Systems LHD Project to purchase a number of licences of eMRD and eLORA to support the development of the LHD LSAR to meet Australian requirements.
Marshall Aerospace recently purchased licences of eMRD to reduce the effort required for the day to day engineering management of the C-130 fleets.
These purchases build on initial sales and leasing to RLM, Qantas Defence Services, Tenix Defence and Australian Aerospace and supports the growing interest in the effectiveness of these specialist applications.
eMRD is a DEF(AUST)5692 compliant database primarily designed to facilitate the development of the LSAR LCN structure and the conduct of maintenance requirements determination, FMEA, RCM and task analysis that supports the development of valid Technical Maintenance Plans (TMP) and Planned Servicing Schedules (PSS). The easy to use windows interface and single screen visibility provides the analyst with the ability to utilise the application’s intuitive functionality to reduce errors and provide significant efficiency gains.
eLORA is a MIL STD 1390D compliant application that facilitates the development of economic and non-economic Level of Repair Analysis rationale to support maintenance and sparing decisions.
The use of eMRD and eLORA has proven to significantly reduce resource requirements whilst minimising human induced errors.
