Australian ILS Industry Support

Australia has a number of well qualified companies able to provide assistance to Manufacturers and Suppliers who have contracted to supply equipment to the Australian Defence Organisation (ADO)- Army, Navy, Air Force.
The support data and documentation required with the supplies is often under-estimated, and many Manufacturers and Suppliers of commercial equipment lack the experienced personnel to create the data or documentation in the appropriate format, which is where local contractors or consultants have their place.

Facility and Asset Management

Facility, Asset and Fleet Management are very similar in many ways to Integrated Logistic Support (ILS).

They have the same sub functions as ILS:

  •  Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM)
  •  Failure Modes, Effects & Criticality Analysis (FMECA) (done during design)
  •  Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA) (done after design to determine maintenance tasks)
  •  Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)
  •  Level Of Repair Analysis (LORA)
  •  Verification and Validation (V&V)
  •  Life Cycle Costing Analysis (LCCA)

Consider a ship or sub marine, which is essentially a building on / in a hull, it constitutes many common systems that require the same analysis and support that any facility or equipment might need:

Electrical

  • Electrical Generation systems
  • Electrical Distribution systems
  • Lighting systems
  • Emergency Lighting systems
  • Backup power systems / UPS / batteries

Electronic systems

  • Communication systems
  • Electronic Control systems
  • Information systems

Water

  • Water purification / desalination
  • Water storage / supply
  • Hot water production and storage
  • Water distribution / plumbing
  • Fire fighting system

Waste water

  • Grey water system / recyclable / alternate use
    • Distribution, treatment and storage
  • Black water system / Sewage
    • Distribution, treatment and storage

Power Plant / Engine

  • Engine mechanics
  • Fuel system
  • Intake air filtering system
  • Exhaust system
  • Lubrication system
  • Hydraulic system
  • Cooling system

Transmission

  • Gearbox
  • Drive shafts
  • Output drive (propeller)

Stowage

  • Tanks (fuel / water / supplies / cargo)
  • Storage compartments and shelving (supplies, cargo, support equipment)

Structure

  • Hull / frame
  • Walls
  • Flooring
  • Roof

Ancillary equipment

  • Support boats / inflatables
  • Lifting equipment
  • Winches
  • Weaponry

Ancillary Support equipment

  • Repair workshops
  • Food preparation, handling and cooking equipment.

Safety systems

  • Fire fighting system
  • Smoke / gas detection
  • Emergency escape systems –
    • slides / ladders / life boats
  • Life preserving systems
    • Life vests, Emergency Breathing apparatus, Defibrillators

The majority of the above also apply to aircraft and to many vehicle systems and of course to land based buildings.

Thus the same integrated logistic support techniques can be applied to non military equipment and facilities with the same benefits in terms of minimising down time and through life costs while maximising availability and performance.
