ILS and the LSAR
Logistic Support Analaysis Record (LSAR)
At the heart of the ILS wheel is the Logistics Support Analysis Record (LSAR) which is the repository of credible data used to support operations. LES specialises in the construction of the LSAR and the management of the data within it. Given that the data, by itself, is of minimal use, LES can assist organisations to process that data and convert it into useful information to support the decisions of managers and executives. A well maintained LSAR ensures data integrity, improves access to credible information, allows effective data distribution to key stakeholders and provides the required levels of control for a rigorous design and inventory management framework.
Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) - A Concept
Within the "integrated" logistics concept, the focus is placed on managing information in "as close to real time" as possible, conducting life cycle analyses using reliable data and distributing data effectively. The cost of obtaining reliable data and accounting for customer requirements in terms of format and security requirements, mandates the careful management of return on investment in ILS, especially for major projects.
Essentially, the cost of obtaining and managing data must be outweighed by increased availability, reduced cost of operations and reduced cost of support.
Acquisition and In-Service
LES provides professional services to allow project managers to improve identification of costs during acquisition and in-service. LES also provides project managers the capability to develop and implement logistics applications that can be interfaced with the LSAR and with each other, allowing the effective distribution of through life support data.
Tailoring
LES has the in-house expertise to tailor your LSAR requirements prior to acquisition or to redevelop an existing LSAR to reflect the emerging needs of your organisation. Whatever your requirements, LES is sure to provide the optimum solution for your LSAR.
