Dates:
Course 1: February 19th-22nd - Registration Closed

Overview

The course focuses on the principles of conducting Integrated Logistic/Product Support (ILS/IPS) throughout the Materiel Product Life Cycle (PLC) and is aimed at providing students with a first principles overview of ILS/IPS. This understanding will enable students to work in a collaborative Logistic Support and Engineering environment in both Materiel acquisition and sustainment programs.

Students are guided through the concepts of ILS at different phases of the PLC, and are also introduced to the principles of Logistics Support Analysis (LSA) activities which directly influence development of the ILS/IPS Elements, Support System Constituent Capabilities (SSCC) and the Fundamental Inputs to Capability (FIC) for Materiel programs. LSA topics introduced include: Maintenance Requirements Determination (MRD); Spares Optimisation; Training and Training Support Analysis; Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) and Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA).

Throughout the course the experienced instructors will bring to life the theoretical knowledge with examples and scenarios to ensure students can apply the knowledge to their individual workplace.

While the course is primarily structured and aligned to the Australian Defence Organisation (ADO) policies, the instructors endeavour to relate the learning material to the wider Australian civil industries.
