Assuming that the objectives of logistic support have been met in a satisfactory manner, what are the logistic support functions in the system utilization and support phase?
The focus of assuming that the objectives of logistic support have been met in a satisfactory manner are in the root of sustaining maintenance systems and the support functions would include all scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. This is done throughout the system phase or operational phase. Moreover, the maintenance will cover the appropriate mix of personnel, maintenance software, repair parts, and inventory. The subsequent testing will then ensure all equipment will be able to perform under load conditions.

Compare the concepts of ILS and TPM. Identify similarities and the differences between the two.
The TPM is a new design which has been implemented in order to aide with less maintenance but also with employee morale. Through the process of having scheduled maintenance it allows for a more complete inspection of the equipment to determine if there are an deficiencies which may cause the equipment to go down during normal operating times. Furthermore, the premise is the ensure emergency and unscheduled maintenance is basically zero.
The ILS system utilizes the resources which it already has and in addition, allows system engineers to optimized functionality to decrease life cycle costs. Moreover, the consideration of customer demand and the full utilization of transportation and logistics.
