SIMLOX

Although OPUS10^TM makes it possible to solve logistic support/spares optimizing problems analytically, a number of problems remain that require simulation. SIMLOX uses a Monte-Carlo technique that enables many replications per 'run' of the model. It simulates the operation, maintenance logistics and their interactions, for any technical system.

SIMLOX is a discrete event simulation model developed as an extension to OPUS10^TM. It is important that analysis of the time dimension is available including the stochastic elements, as there is no such thing as an average operation. Although a separate product to OPUS10^TM, SIMLOX will interface/integrate fully with OPUS10^TM. SIMLOX supplements the OPUS10^TM model and uses the same data and definitions with a simple and easy-to-use data import utility. SIMLOX analyses the OPUS10^TM scenario with major extension to cover:

• Different mission profiles with variable utilization
• Mission prioritization
• Mission controlled generation of failures/damages
• Maintenance resource and constraints
• Preventative maintenance
• Mission damage
• Cannibalization/robbing
• Non critical and critical failures
• Deferred maintenance and repair
• Lateral or flexible support
• System variants
• User defined resource shift, system operation and transportation profiles
• Transfer of systems, items and resources
• Time distributions

OPUS10^TM

OPUS10^TM is a versatile computer model for solving logistics problems. Its powerful modeling capability makes it the worlds leading logistic support optimization tool. OPUS10^TM is the result of Systecon's continuous development over a period of 30 years of embedded experiences from consulting and software development.

• Most cost effective design alternatives
• Most cost effective logistic support structure
• Most cost effective allocation of spares
• Most cost effective mix of spares
• Most cost effective choice of repair policies

The applications range from submarines to missiles, from Remote Control Systems to the EFA and JAS aircraft projects, from the Troll offshore platforms to Main Battle Tanks, from Oslo Air Traffic Control Center to the Singapore Mass Rapid Transit and Australian naval vessels.

The use of OPUS10^TM typically gives a saving of 25-30% of spares costs compared to more traditional methods.

OPUS10^TM application areas:

• Comparison of alternative support organizations
• Initial procurement of spares for new equipment
• Repair level analysis and repair/discard analysis
• Cost/effectiveness analysis of existing stores
• Comparison of different tenderers and/or different system configurations
• Combinations of the above

We have representation in a number of countries around the world. The computer requirements for running OPUS10^TM are modest in spite of the complexity of the problem.
