Life cycle sustainment is an integral part of the success of any system. It involves developing a logistic support strategy to ensure that a system adheres to sustainment considerations. Industry life cycle sustainment trickles down to all stages of a system — from planning to its fielding and support.
Life cycle management and sustainment is a joint effort by leaders and members of an organization. They all have to heed effective strategies throughout the life cycle to ensure the best and least costly practices are in play.
Total Life Cycle Systems Management
Total Life Cycle Systems Management (TLCSM) is quite a popular system development approach. This approach requires the program manager to act as the sole point of accountability for a given program. Hence, the program manager oversees all activities associated with a system’s development.
Achieving Management and Sustainment Goals
Logistics can be a complex process so it helps to partner with industry life cycle sustainment specialists. But even while relying on a specialist, the organization and its members need to align to the goals.
