Course overview
Upskill rapidly with a Professional Certificate specifically designed for Defence and related industry personnel. Delivered fully online, this Professional Certificate can be taken as a stand-alone course, as a building block as part of the UniSA Defence Professional Certificates or may also be used as credit for the Master of Systems Engineering.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), a vital discipline in ensuring the efficiency, sustainability, and readiness of complex systems throughout their lifecycle. Participants will explore the key principles of ILS, including planning and designing support systems through supportability analysis, and maintenance and sustainment strategies. The course covers essential topics such as logistics planning, reliability, maintainability and availability, spare parts management, support system elements, training, testing etc. Students will gain practical insights into how to integrate logistics considerations into system development, optimize lifecycle costs, and enhance operational performance. By the end of the course, students will have a solid understanding of the role of ILS in delivering effective and cost-efficient solutions for both commercial and defence sectors.
