Maintaining a structured, coherent, deployable support solution

Developing and maintaining a structured, coherent, deployable support solution

Maintenance performance depends on the quality, consistency, and currency of support data. To ensure a system’s availability and maintainability, information relating to equipment, spare parts, tools, test equipment, and maintenance operations must be structured and accessible to the right people.

At LGM, we support industrial companies in designing, developing, and updating their maintenance reference data, ensuring consistency between data from logistics support analysis, supply reference data, and technical documentation.

Our expertise in integrated logistics support engineering enables us to consolidate data, identify the items required for maintenance, and produce the associated documentation. We also ensure that technical and operational changes are incorporated so that the reference data remains reliable, relevant, and usable throughout the system life cycle.

Consistency across reference data

Ensure continuity between logistics support analysis data, supply reference data and technical documentation.

Our ambition: to make maintenance data reliable and ensure coherent, up-to-date and operational support.

Structure and consolidate support data

An effective maintenance reference relies on reliable, standardized data that is consistent across the various tools and disciplines involved in support.

LGM supports the standardized consolidation of logistics and environmental data within information systems, including logistics support analysis databases (BASL), logistics information systems (SIL) and configuration or maintenance management tools (CMMS).

Our teams help organize data, harmonize its structure and ensure consistency across different sources. This approach helps limit duplication, reduce inconsistencies and make information easier for maintenance, logistics and supply teams to use.

Effective management of this data is essential to making support activities more reliable, facilitating exchanges between systems and ensuring the availability of information required for operations.

Specify and characterize support elements

Maintenance planning requires the precise identification of the resources essential to operating and restoring systems.

LGM supports the specification and characterization of support elements, ensuring they are consistent with operational needs, technical constraints and defined maintenance strategies.

This activity includes, in particular:

  • spare parts required for maintenance operations;
  • tools and test equipment;
  • the skills required to carry out interventions;
  • personnel training needs;
  • equipment identification and characterization data.

NATO codification may also be included in the work carried out to support the standardized identification of supply items and facilitate their logistics management in a defense context.

By structuring this information, we help improve the clarity of the maintenance reference, facilitate supply processes, and lay the groundwork for maintenance tailored to the system’s needs.

Produce and publish technical documentation

Technical documentation is essential to the proper execution of maintenance operations. It must give users and maintainers access to reliable, clear information suited to their activities.

LGM supports the production and publication of operational and maintenance documentation, in line with the system’s technical and logistics data.

Our work may include:

  • technical documentation for operation and maintenance;
  • illustrated catalogs of parts and equipment;
  • procedures and instructions required for interventions;
  • training materials and media;
  • structuring and providing access to documentation data.

Consistency between technical documentation and reference data is essential: it helps limit discrepancies between the information describing the system and the information used in the field.

This approach helps facilitate the preparation and execution of maintenance operations, while promoting knowledge transfer and the autonomy of personnel.

Keeping a reference up to date throughout the life cycle

A maintenance reference is not static. It must evolve alongside the system, its configurations, its equipment and its operating conditions.

LGM supports the ongoing integration of technical and operational changes into the support reference. This approach aims to maintain consistency between changes made to the system and the data required to maintain it.

This includes taking configuration changes into account, updating logistics data, keeping information on spare parts and support equipment up to date, and revising the technical documents concerned.

Careful management of changes helps reduce the risks associated with using obsolete data, ensure the safety of maintenance operations and preserve support quality over time.

A reliable reference supporting operational performance

Structuring and updating maintenance reference data directly contribute to Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) performance.

By ensuring the consistency of data, resources and documentation, LGM helps facilitate maintenance operations, improve supply reliability and make information easier to use throughout the system life cycle.

This approach is part of a global vision of integrated logistics support engineering, at the intersection of maintenance, configuration management, technical documentation and logistics data.

LGM supports you in building and evolving your maintenance reference data so you can rely on data that is reliable, consistent and suited to your systems’ requirements.
