Case Study
We partnered with a specialist airline operator in the process of carrying out critical fleet maintenance enabling them to increase availability, profitability and help secure the future of an existing contract. Asset Management Simulation Weapons operating centre
We have partnered with the UK’s weapons operating centre to provide clarity on munitions availability and reducing risk through effective management of assets, maximising return on CapEx.
Client situation
Complications
What we did (ongoing)
Sustained period of experience loss coupled with challenging scope additions, leaving teams unable to deliver their output plan No visibility of baseline throughput making prioritising resources and efforts difficult Some refit programmes included over 300 individual processes for each of the 19 weapons. Too complicated for any individual to understand the full scope
Developed a discrete event simulation availability model covering 19 complex weapon systems, enabling evidence- based decisions for stockpiles Enabled secure hosting and access to digital twin model output - first ever custom web application deployed at Defence SECRET classification Designed an agreed enterprise way of working and approach through 100s of workshops across 6 types of organisations with different challenges Training developed and rolled out ‘at shoulder’ to ensure it was effective and drove the change in behaviours across 100+ FTE Future phases of this programme explore additional uses of machine learning and is in MODs pipeline of special projects.
The client is responsible for multiple nationally critical multi-year refit and upgrade programmes to guarantee safety and performance of the UKs weapon system. After years of decline, an increased threat level has led to a need for an increased availability.
