Turning equipment into capability
ARTUS offers management support in Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) / Integrated Product Support (IPS) disciplines to assist organizations in maximizing operational availability of equipment at an optimal life cycle cost.
Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) and Integrated Product Support (IPS) for the aviation industry
“We have invested in this new capability …..”
How often have you heard this phrase?
How often has the reality not met the expectation?
Has this manifested itself in operational and/or reputational shortfalls?
In most cases, the use of ‘capability’ is used in lieu of ‘equipment’. Just because your new piece of equipment can do more than what it has replaced, it doesn’t always follow that the capability is either improved or optimised. The equipment article is just the beginning of a ‘capability upgrade’.
Of course, capability starts with the equipment or article, but there is so much more to consider:
- Training of the Operator.
- Operators Manual.
- Training of the Maintainer.
- Technical Documentation.
- Tooling.
- Spares.
- Logistics.
- Data Management.
- Technical Support.
- Infrastructure.
… and this is just the start.
Every piece of equipment is different and has its own environment, set of requirements and commercial framework for its support. If you are not getting the best out of your equipment, then you are compromising your capability.
ARTUS Support Ltd are able to assess your needs, identify risks/issues and highlight opportunities for maximising capability, focussing investment, reducing costs (both Capital and Resource) and improving system availability and reputational capital.
With 35 years in military aviation support, powerplant management and explosive safety, working on legacy and modern programmes, we are able to bring that experience into your environment.
