Integrated Product Support (IPS) and Integrated Logistics Support (ILS)

In today’s demanding operational environment, asset availability and readiness are critical to an organisation’s success. Whether supporting traditional platforms or emerging technologies, you must ensure that supportability, maintainability and through-life cost considerations are addressed from the earliest stages of the lifecycle. 

RINA provides Integrated Product Support (IPS) and Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) services for complex assets and systems across the defence, security, land, maritime and aerospace sectors. 

IPS/ILS Health Check 

RINA’s IPS/ILS Health Check provides an independent review of an existing support strategy, assessing its ability to achieve availability, reliability and cost objectives. 

The assessment identifies potential risks, opportunities for improvement and practical recommendations to enhance support performance and through-life value.
