On behalf of the Integrated Product Support Council, I personally welcome you to the IPS Community.
Our mission is to promote and advocate for the recognition of the Integrated Product Support (IPS), Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) and Logistics Support Analysis (LSA) practitioners, and professionals that Design, Develop, Deliver, Operate & Maintain, and Dispose of Product Support Systems, skills that are increasingly rare and desperately needed. The IPS Community and the IPS Council are your voice as we strive to professionalise IPS, ILS and LSA careers.
Whilst the skills we bring have been predominantly focused on Defence and Defence and Defence Industry, recent years have seen the application of IPS/ILS techniques to the mining, energy and transport industries as they recognise the life cycle costs benefits of well-designed and managed Support Systems.
This community provides an opportunity for all members to:
- seek the wisdom of others
- contribute to, and access a library of standards, templates, examples and other reference material
- initiate and contribute to discussions and blogs
- bring their ideas to the attention of a community of IPS professionals
Please, use and shape this community with respect.
Once again, Welcome!
#IntegratedProductSupport
