The logistics sector has been severely affected by recent societal crises. Simultaneously, there is a need for research on how to ensure civil logistics during crisis situations. This study aims to investigate how Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) can be utilized within the civil industry, with the intention of strengthening the logistic flow against potential societal crises. The goal of the study is to propose a framework for how the civil industry can implement ILS. The study demonstrates how ILS can be applied to a product in the civil industry by compiling a structure consisting of an exploded view, a component list and a mapping of the product’s logistics chain. Subsequently, a critical flow was identified using a SWOT analysis, followed by determining the risks associated with the flow through an FMECA. The conclusion of the study is that ILS can strengthen a product’s logistics flow in anticipation of a potential crisis. The challenges with applying ILS to a logistics flow arise from the need to analyze each sub-flow to include all different risk scenarios. The recommendation for manufacturing companies is to review their logistics flows and subsequently engage in risk management as a preventive measure.
