Overview of the S-Series IPS specifications

The S-series of Integrated Product Support (IPS) specifications is a suite of international transatlantic specifications that address different aspects related to the provision of support by means of an integrated process. The main characteristic of these specifications that that they use interoperable processes and full interoperable data exchanges, which allow to share information across different domains and specifications. The S-Series of IPS specifications goes beyond the traditional Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) and addresses not only the preparation for the service, but also the support during the in-service phase. Even more, it adds a feedback loop in order to perform in-service optimization of the traditional ILS.
