From Depot to Deployment: SOI’s Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) Advantage
In complex defense and federal environments, equipment isn’t truly “ready” unless the logistics behind it are, too. At Solution One Industries (SOI), we integrate maintenance, supply, technical data, training, and modernization into a single, outcomes-driven ILS framework; so every asset performs when and where it matters.
What Is ILS and Why It Matters
Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) is a coordinated approach to sustaining systems across their entire lifecycle. Done right, it:
-
reduces total ownership cost
-
increases operational availability
-
shortens turnaround times
-
standardizes quality across sites and platforms
SOI’s ILS Pillars
-
Maintenance Engineering
We design maintenance concepts around real usage, not assumptions.
-
level-of-repair analysis (LORA)
-
failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA)
-
reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) plans
-
Supply & Inventory Optimization
We ensure the right part, at the right place, at the right time.
-
demand forecasting and min/max tuning
-
repairable/refurbishment pipelines
-
vendor performance management and SLAs
-
Technical Data & Configuration Control
Accurate data drives accurate decisions.
-
digital tech manuals and work instructions
-
configuration/status accounting
-
as-maintained records synced with QA
-
Training & Human Performance
Skilled teams sustain reliable systems.
-
role-based upskilling and certification paths
-
job aids and micro-learning modules
-
safety and compliance refreshers
-
Modernization & Obsolescence Management
We keep legacy systems relevant and supportable.
-
technology refresh roadmaps
-
form/fit/function replacements
-
cybersecurity-informed updates
Sample Outcomes
| Lever | Result (12 months) | Mission Impact |
|---|---|---|
| RCM + predictive maintenance | –14% maintenance cost | +22% uptime on critical assets |
| Inventory policy re-tuning | –18% expedited orders | +17% parts availability |
| Tech data standardization | –23% rework events | Faster, first-time-right repairs |
| Targeted modernization inserts | 1.9x ROI | +15% mission readiness |
What Sets SOI Apart
-
Mission-aligned design: Sustainment plans built from the CONOPS up
-
Data-first execution: Tooling that connects supply, maintenance, and finance
-
People and process: Certified technicians and repeatable playbooks across sites
-
Scale and speed: Rapid stand-up without sacrificing governance or safety
Where ILS Delivers the Most Value
-
multi-site maintenance with mixed fleets
-
legacy systems facing obsolescence risk
-
high-tempo environments (training/deployment cycles)
-
programs needing cost stabilization without readiness tradeoffs
Let’s Build Your ILS Game Plan
Whether you’re stabilizing a maturing program or launching a new platform, SOI can tailor an ILS model that fits your timeline, budget, and mission profile.
