About Defense Maintenance:

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?

You’ll find the answers at the DMS Summit 2013. This event is brought to you by the creators of Defense Logistics.
