AMERICAN SYSTEMS develops and implements integrated logistic support for many significant government programs. Our logisticians have written integrated logistic support plans and overseen the subsequent implementation of these plans over the life cycle of the program. During the acquisition phase, they work with engineering groups to ensure that they are building logistic considerations into the design. We also establish forums that welcome user feedback concerning proposed designs. These forums ensure that we incorporate maintenance and operation considerations into the design. These approaches establish a design for ownership perspective that spans the ten ILS elements.
