The effort needed to deliver a project on time and within budgetary constraints can focus the project team on the short term goal of project hand over at the expense of a comprehensive review of project life cycle economics; the fact is that 75-85% of developments life cycle costs will be expended during its in-service operations. Consequently operational support processes are not optimised and transition into the operational phase can be less than desirable. If early application of Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) is invoked it is possible to reduce costs and hence tension by having a system that is designed, optimised and ready to meet operational requirements.
Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM) offers a range of ILS services that cover ten core logistic elements including Engineering, Maintenance, Technical Information, Information Technology, Support and Test Equipment, Facilities, Supply and Distribution, People and Training.
SKM’s ILS services extend from concept and feasibility studies through project design and delivery to in-service operation and disposal. Our integrated and whole of life approach delivers effective and sustainable logistics solutions at the lowest life cycle cost.
