To achieve maximum, affordable readiness throughout a system’s life cycle, careful planning is required prior to, during, and beyond production. Post Production Support Planning (PPSP) is required by the DoD 5000.2-R and occurs primarily during system development. PPSP is a joint endeavor shared by government and industry, and is necessary insurance for DoD in view of its diminishing industrial base. To assist the acquisition community in PPSP, the Joint Service Guide for Aviation Post Production Support Planning (PPSP) was created.

This guide was developed by the Joint Services Technical Working Group, under the direction of the Aviation Logistics Board of the Joint Aeronautical Commanders Group. It provides guidance and assists program and logistics managers in understanding and applying post production support planning to all aviation weapon system/subsystem programs within DoD.

The PPSP Guide is available as a guide and checklist. The PPSP checklist is also available as a stand alone spreadsheet program that can be organized into a database repository tailored to the user’s particular program. The guide will be maintained on this web site, and also available on the Defense Acquisition Deskbook.
