In t e g r a t e d L o g is t ic s /P r o d u c t S u p p o r t (IL S /IP S )A Foundation for Operating ExcellenceIntegrated Logistic Support (ILS) and its more recenttransformation into Integrated Product Support (IPS)are a logistics engineering-centred methodologiesthat incorporates logistic/product support analysis(LSA/PSA) into equipment design and production, tocreate a support solution that improves equipmentreliability, maximizes equipment availability, andminimizes life cycle costs. ILS/IPS is also usedthroughout the equipment system life cycle to ensurethe support solution remains optimal, and to ensurechanges – operational, support, or engineering – arefully considered and appropriately incorporated intothe design of the equipment and its support.Design& BuildIntegratedProductSupportOperate& MaintainEngineeringProductSupportAnalysisTech Pubs/ MediaILS/IPS enables the outputs of EngineeringDesign and Build to be reconciled throughLogistics/Product Support Analysis (LSA/PSA)so that the end users can received the supportinformation they need in the format required tosupport equipment through life.The OmegaPS Suite is a multi-sector ILS/IPS Softwarepackage, designed by logistics engineering specialistsfor logistics engineering specialists. It is used worldwide, and is a complete system for the generationand capture of Logistics Product Data. As well, thesuite enables ILS practitioners to optimize equipmentsupport solutions by understanding life cycle cost andsustainment resources needed to meet equipmentoperational and support demands.OmegaPS SuiteThe OmegaPS Suite is an independent LogisticsProduct Data (LPD) management platform thatcomprises two world-class products: OmegaPS andAnalyzer.OmegaPSOmegaPS is an innovativeLogistics Product Data (LPD)application that uses oneconsolidated database forstructuring and managingequipment configurations andsupportability information. This provides a baselinefor defining, developing, and producing an optimizedsupport solution that can be used and evolved for thelife of the equipment. This brochure describes thecapabilities of OmegaPS.AnalyzerAnalyzer is an equipmentlife cycle analysis tool thatoptimizes support solutions bymodelling the distribution anduse profile of the equipmentfleet supported by theirassociated logistics support organization.Thissupport and use model helps clients understand lifecycle cost drivers and how to improve the overallequipment support chain. OmegaPS and Analyzer areintegrated such that OmegaPS can send equipmentbaseline data sets to Analyzer, speeding up thecreation of accurate representative models. For moreinformation regarding Analyzer you can visit ourwebsite or read the Analyzer brochure.A Structured and Systematic ApproachBy taking a structured and systematic approachto managing LPD, an equipment design can beinfluenced early in the design and developmentcycle to lower both production and support costs.Additionally, an equipment’s support solution canbe continuously assessed and re-optimized over thelife cycle to maximize equipment availability whileminimizing operating and support costs.

OmegaPS VersatilityOmegaPS Functional CapabilitiesOmegaPS provides a cohesive system for the ILS/IPS processes fundamentally addresses thegeneration, capture and enterprise use of LPD data. questions:It allows engineers to re-use the approved data for What is it?production of technical documentation, material How does it break?provisioning activities, in-service performancemanagement and assessment of recommended How to fix it?changes to the equipment and its support. How to support it?OmegaPS conforms to former, current, and evolving OmegaPS functionality is developed arounddata standards including SAE-GEIASTD-0007, MILSTD- these questions, and through a flexible modular1388-2B, DEF STAN 00-60, DEFAUST 5692, and ASD construction, an OmegaPS solution is configurable toS3000L. Other material management and reliability meet client requirements. To begin this analysis, aengineering standards are also supported including data standard must be selected.ASD S2000M, Canadian D-01-100-214/SF-000, or ATAMSG-3, among others.OmegaPS Data StandardsAn OmegaPS strength is that there are multiple ILS/IPS data standards that can be used to manage yourOmegaPS is designed and developed using ORACLE LPD. The data standard is an “operating layer” thatdatabase, forms and report software, thus ensuring sits on the core OmegaPS foundation. There are fourlongevity with platform and operating system standards to choose from for general equipmentindependence. It can operate as a Standalone, Single- management and Defence Sector applications, plusServer and Distributed architecture environment, an additional variant designed for the Rail Sector.and is wholly web-based and network compatible.Applications include:There are multiple levels of security to ensure that SAE-GEIASTD-0007only authorized personnel have access to data MILSTD-1388-2Bin OmegaPS. Using ORACLE’s built-in database DEF STAN 00-60 (multiple Issues)authentication, user roles and authorizations aretightly controlled. In addition, OmegaPS has defined DEFAUST 5692 (multiple issues)User and Team controls to enable the definition ofthe correct access for completing tasks.Material Parts Library and Structure ManagerA Secure ProductTime Saving Features with Logical Work FlowsOmegaPS has many time-saving features and by usingthe workflow navigation system, which is enhancedwith internal ‘navigator’ jumps, engineers savehours of laborious data creation and manipulationtasks. Users are able to work in a logical manneraddressing the various disciplines such as structures,maintenance task analysis, reliability and failureanalysis as well as data uploads, transfers andreporting.“Out of the Box” OmegaPS provides dynamicfunctionality to help consolidate your logistics productdata, including parts data, structure requirements,technical documentation, and embedded drawingsto name some.Roles and authorizations are completely tailorable tomeet client requirements, and can be controlled todown to an individual data element if necessary.Material Parts LibraryMaterial is the fundamental building block for allequipment. OmegaPS enables the “universe” ofmaterial used by a client organization to be storedin one consolidated “Material Parts Library.” As such,if an item has a change to its name or part number,if applicable, it changes everywhere – no major rework required across tables and projects.For more information and to learn more about the Omega Product Suite, visit us atwww.Pennant-IPS.com or email us at sales@pennant-ips.com to schedule a demonstration.

Structure ManagerAR&M AnalysesWith material identified, engineering andlogistic managers can identify, design and createconfigurations, to which material information isassigned, including spare parts, test equipment,special tools, and so on. With the “universe” ofmaterial stored in OmegaPS, equipment projectscan simultaneously search to look for common partusage within enterprise-wide system configurations.Availability, Reliability and Maintainability dataare inputs into logistic support analysis processes,particularly for developing maintenance tasks,and for determining supply chain logistics andmaterial sparing requirements. To ensure its properintegration within Logistics Product Data, OmegaPSappropriately relates this data to the equipment’smaterial. OmegaPS also has functionality and specificmodules to capture Failure Modes and Effects/Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and Reliability CenteredMaintenance (RCM) data. RCM takes the informationfrom the FMECA and provides the crucial assessmentto determine preventive and corrective maintenancetask requirements. OmegaPS comes available withstandard RCM logics, such as S4000P, AMCP-750-2,and MSG 3, but as part of RCM Editor, OmegaPS isconfigurable to any logic model that users may wishto apply.Structure Manager has additional attributes thatenables the ease of building complex equipmentbreakdown structures for equipment, both functionaland physical. Also, quick creation of new structures,and the capability to easily re-use structures,improves analysis efficiency and effectiveness, andreduces data errors.Subject to the client preferences, through theintuitive GUI, invalid data structures are not allowedto be placed in equipment projects. This ensures thatcorrect material Parent/Child relationships withinand across projects are maintained.Digital data can be embedded and attached todatabase elements so engineers can refer to relevantillustrations, videos, or documents while conductingLSA.Manage all equipment configurationsfor your operations/customers.Mange parts, part substitutes, andobsolescence data in one place.ProvisioningOmegaPS provides necessary provisioning datainformation fields for each data standard. In addition,for some defence sector and industry requirements,there are additional data sets that must be reconciled aspart of the Logistics Product Data. OmegaPS providesseveral tailored modules to support this activity, TheCanadian Provisioning Module (commercial variant),and ASD S2000M Module are examples that are usedfor both commercial and defence sector applications.Data exports are produced in either output reportsor ad-hoc exports that are delivered to end users asnecessary.Logical grouping of Data Capture Modulesfor RAM, FMECA, RCM & MTA (MaintenanceTask Analysis) all linking to the resourcesneeded to undertake the maintenancerequired to correct or prevent failures.This includes, Spares, Personnel, Toolsand Support Equipment and Facilities.Maintenance Task AnalysisMaintenance Task Analysis is used to eitherincorporate maintenance inputs from AR&M, or itcan be used to directly write maintenance tasks. Thetask library can be grouped into schedulable job sets,with common tasks efficiently reused.Standard Reports and Ad Hoc QueryOmegaPS provides many standard LPD reportsassociated with each Data standard. These can beeither PDF or RTF format as required. In addition,OmegaPS offers a powerful Data Query Module thatenables the interrogation of the OmegaPS data tablesto provide ad-hoc report specific to a customer’sneeds.
