ILS — Integrated
Logistics Support
Availability, controlled costs and full traceability: RAMT, LORA, LCC, spares, maintenance plans, technical publications and KPI dashboards. Actionable deliverables built to decide and execute.
ILS is designed to increase availability and reduce total cost of ownership (LCC) by structuring maintenance, spares, documentation and indicators. It is especially valuable when downtime is rare, costly, or when multiple contractors are involved.
Typical cases where ILS delivers fast ROI:
Operations & Maintenance
When maintenance is purely reactive and operations need to be stabilised.
- Unpriorised maintenance backlog
- Intermittent failures / missing parts
- Time lost searching for docs & references
Refit / Modernisation
When an equipment change requires securing support & spares.
- Architecture & supplier decisions
- Spares strategy & interchangeability
- Documentation & training
Contracts & Contractors
When responsibilities, performance and service levels need to be clearly defined.
- Maintenance contracts / warranties
- KPIs & penalties / bonuses
- Procedures & traceability
Insurance & Compliance
When documentary evidence and history are critical.
- Intervention & parts history
- Sourced timelines
- Configuration & versions
ILS is assembled from modules. We typically start with a short scope (MVP) and expand from there.
RAMT (Reliability & Maintainability)
Identify weak points and build a measurable improvement plan.
- MTBF / MTTR, failure modes
- Root cause analysis (data-driven)
- Reliability plan & prioritised actions
LORA (Repair / Replace / Outsource)
Determine the right intervention strategies and stock levels.
- Repair vs replace vs subcontract
- Maintenance levels (O/I/D)
- Operational constraints & lead times
Spares & Interchangeability
Eliminate downtime caused by unavailable parts.
- Critical / recommended spares list
- References, equivalents, obsolescence
- Stock & replenishment strategy
Maintenance Plans (Preventive / Condition-based)
Standardise tasks and cut unnecessary interventions.
- Task sequences & intervals
- Condition-based (sensor / log driven)
- Checklists & acceptance criteria
Technical Publications
Documentation that is actually usable day-to-day — and kept up to date.
- Document tree & version control
- Equipment sheets / procedures
- Revisions & traceability
KPI Dashboard
Measure operations and drive performance.
- KPIs: MTBF/MTTR, backlog, availability
- Downtime, causes, costs
- Rituals: monthly review, action plans
Document inventory + critical spares + minimum maintenance plan + basic KPI dashboard.
“A well-structured ILS takes only a few weeks to initialise — and can save several days of downtime per year.”
You receive a structured, prioritised, ready-to-use deliverable.
ILS Report
- Analysis & findings (RAMT / LORA / spares)
- Risks & impacts (availability, costs, safety)
- Prioritised backlog (quick wins / CAPEX)
Appendices (scope-dependent)
- Spares list (critical / recommended)
- Maintenance plan & checklists
- KPIs & dashboard template
Simple: scoping → data collection → analysis → findings.
1) Scoping
Objectives, scope, constraints, systems, data availability.
2) Data Collection
Docs, logs, maintenance history, spares inventories, interviews.
3) Findings
Observations, risks, recommendations, 30/60/90-day plan.
Send us 3 things: asset type, objectives (availability/costs), and your available window (berth/site).
What data is needed to get started?
At minimum: an equipment list, available documents (as-built, manuals), and a maintenance history (even if incomplete). We can start with an MVP and build from there.
Is ILS suitable for a yacht / vessel with limited downtime?
Yes — ILS is particularly useful when the intervention window is short. We prioritise critical spares, checklists and procedures to secure operations.
Do you deliver in English?
Yes, deliverables are available in FR/EN depending on need and scope.
How long does an ILS engagement take?
An MVP can be completed in 2–6 weeks depending on data availability. Extension phases (in-depth RAMT/LORA, docs, dashboards) are planned afterwards.
