Case study
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.
Our Impact
Client challenge
20% Increase in supplier performance due to improved asset monitoring.
12 months
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
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.
34%
Of programme savings across the complex weapons portfolio. $400m
Complexities
Increase in operational throughput.
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
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.
Spend avoided which would not have helped solve the challenge. $300m
