In the framework of the injectors upgrade, the PS should provide in a reliable way the beams required by the HL-LHC. An overview of beam studies that will be carried out during the next years, both in terms of MDs and simulations, to determine as best as possible the future performances and limitations of the machine, will be presented. The hardware modifications necessary to improve and upgrade the LHC beam production will be discussed: this will include the consolidation of various systems necessary to assure reliable operation also for the non-LHC beams. A preliminary list of possible activities for the next LS1 will be also presented.
