“We will fix it later” can sound harmless in a Design Review. ⚙️ For Engineering Leaders, it is often one of the most costly phrases in a Programme. Small Design Choices made early can shape Maintenance Effort, Spare Parts Demand, Training Needs, Support Equipment, Technical Documentation Updates and Long-Term Availability. What feels like a minor delay during Development can become years of added cost once Equipment enters Service. The real issue is not the phrase itself. It is what it hides: Support Planning being pushed too far down the line. Strong Engineering Teams bring Support Thinking into Design Decisions from the start. They ask how the System will be maintained, supplied, trained, updated and kept available across its life. That is where Integrated Logistic Support makes the difference. 📈 We have written about the Budget Risks hidden in “we’ll fix it later” Engineering, and why Early Support Planning is almost always cheaper than solving problems in Service.
