Integrated Logistics/Product Support (ILS/IPS)

Ensuring operational readiness is about more than system handover, it's about how effectively a system is supported over time. At RPS, we provide advisory services that embed logistics support planning and sustainment within systems design and lifecycle delivery, optimising for reliability, availability and long-term cost-efficiency.

Integrating support from design through sustainment

Our ILS and IPS services align with acquisition and sustainment phases to shape logistics, maintenance strategies and costed support plans. This begins in early concept definition and continues through detailed sustainment planning and long-term support.

Our team develops Integrated Logistics Support Plans (ILSPs) that outline how systems will be supported across their operational life. We align this planning with readiness targets and technical performance objectives, ensuring logistics decisions enable long-term availability and mission success.

Our ILS/IPS services include

ILS and IPS strategy and lifecycle sustainment planning
Logistics Support Analysis (LSA) and maintenance modelling
Supply chain planning
Technical data management
Ongoing support and sustainment design
Training needs analysis and workforce integration

Reducing cost and improving system readiness

Through data-led decision-making, we help clients evaluate sustainment options based on long-term cost and operational risk. Our work supports informed trade-offs between serviceability and investment, helping clients meet defined capability targets without compromising efficiency.

We design support strategies that anticipate degradation, reduce downtime and maximise systems over extended timeframes. Whether supporting airborne, maritime or land-based equipment, our goal is to ensure operational availability is achieved at the lowest cost.

This can include everything from developing uplift strategies and planning for organisational change, to reviewing role structures and supporting implementation with performance tracking and measurement. Our engagements are highly collaborative, ensuring integration with broader strategic planning and change readiness.

We work closely with HR teams, business units and leadership groups to ensure that workforce planning is embedded, actionable and set up for long-term success.

Experience in complex, regulated environments

Our consultants bring real-world experience delivering ILS and IPS in Defence and high-compliance industries. We work across capability acquisition and sustainment programs, from tender development to post-delivery assurance.
