About Defense Maintenance & Sustainment (DMS):

In the current budget environment we are all tasked with getting more out of our existing platforms, technologies and systems. More uptime, fewer breakdowns, but done cost effectively and efficiently.

  • How can we work most effectively with our industry partners to ensure that our equipment is maintained and ready to use when needed?
  • How can we ensure that the equipment used in Iraq is coming back to be fixed for use wherever it may be next needed?
  • How are strategies like Condition-Based Maintenance and Prognostic Maintenance changing the landscape for Sustainment and Maintenance professionals?
  • How can you use predictive maintenance to reduce cost and reduce downtime?
