The Facilities logistics element is composed of a variety of planning activities, all of which are directed toward ensuring that all required permanent or semi-permanent operating and support facilities (for instance, training, field and depot maintenance, storage, operational, and testing) are available concurrently with system fielding. Planning must be comprehensive and include the need for new construction as well as modifications to existing facilities. It also includes studies to define and establish impacts on life cycle cost, funding requirements, facility locations and improvements, space requirements, environmental impacts, duration or frequency of use, safety and health standards requirements, and security restrictions. Also included are any utility requirements, for both fixed and mobile facilities, with emphasis on limiting requirements of scarce or unique resources.
When looking at a Mission System design it is not possible to determine if the optimal standardisation requirements have been incorporated, or if the design has effectively addressed long term support risks, such as obsolescence. We also have to consider, that many of supportability factors that are inherent in the Mission System design cannot be quantified (standardisation, system architecture, obsolescence, etc); so how do we determine if the system meets the requirements or not?
Support Engineers know what the answer is, we do it by evaluating the processes by which the requirements were developed; in addition to taking cognisance of the operational requirement, did we take the trouble to understand the extant support infrastructure, did we address standardisation, did we gather and utilise historical data, did we collect collate and respond to Lessons Identified, did we identify the cost and the availability drivers, did we look to new technology that could improve the supportability of the Mission System and the effectiveness of the Support System? Did we understand and take cognisance of the operational environment, the weather, the terrain, the distances involved, the likely impact of enemy action on the target system or on the Lines of Communication?

Contiem have been developing and modifying stylesheets for a variety of applications and standards for many years for the Aerospace and Defence industry. Contiem have the knowledge and experience to develop bespoke templates within authoring tools or fully standards compliant stylesheets.
The UK MOD has a long history of leading the world in publication standards. From the JSP180 series, with AvP70, AESP and BR (Navy Books of Reference), which evolved to become JSP(D)543, we hves been able to support the British military.
We understand that in service support for defence and aerospace products is crucial for our customers and for many years we have provided this support as an integral part of all major programmes from the beginning of the design through to end of service.
* implement the plan and lead on the delivery of the technical solution covering Availability, Reliability and Maintainability (AR&M) and Supportability Analysis, etc.
* guide your team to produce plans (in accordance with Def Stan 00-600 and/or SX000i) that detail the support solution required to meet our customers' needs for availability and through life costs, etc.
* provide project management / bid management with a costed plan to design, deliver and implement a tailored support solution appropriate to the new capability.
* Broad experience of supporting complex equipment and systems and well-developed leadership and management skills.
* Experience in a project environment and will likely have project and risk management skills and qualifications.
* We will expect you to be able to demonstrate examples of collaboration, ownership and delivery

Supportability Engineering and ILS courses are designed to provide the delegate with a high level of knowledge of all the aspects that are contained within an integrated logistic support (ILS) system. Our courses are based on foundation principles derived from Def Stan 00-600 and contained in Joint Service Publication (JSP) 886 (now contained with the Defence Logistic Framework (DLF), and are applicable to defence and civil industry alike.
Our Defence Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and Course Design (CD) courses are compliant with the Defence Systems Approach to Training (DSAT) methodology contained in Joint Service Publication (JSP) 822. Whether you are seeking to understand the training needs of a civil or Defence organisation, these courses will provide the delegate with the full range of knowledge to undertake the tasks.
