Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) Services

The through-life support cost of a sophisticated naval ship is likely to be much greater than the capital cost of the ship. CMNSSL provides, through its sister company, Sir Joseph Isherwood Limited (Isherwoods), integrated systems designed to maximise ship availability, while minimising the budgetary cost of the support provision.

CMN Support Services can provide clients with the systems needed to control both maintenance costs and spare parts inventory levels. The systems use a hybrid combination of condition based, predictive and preventative maintenance criteria, to provide a practical, flexible and cost effective approach to maintenance scheduling and work activity.

The systems automatically requisition replacement on-board spares for those used in the maintenance process. They also compare base stock levels with forward spare requirements for forthcoming base maintenance or docking programmes, to ensure that work flow will not be disrupted by equipment shortfalls.

The ILS System software is a true 32-bit Windows application with a multiple document interface. It has been designed as a client/server application to run on any computer platform that supports Microsoft Windows. Systems can be configured to work on a stand alone computer, or within a client/server local area network (LAN.)

A range of ILS training courses are available, which can be tailored to a client's specific area of interest, covering:
