The Defence & Aerospace industries have recently had to adapt to new supplier contracting frameworks, such as Contracting for Availability, ‘Power by the Hour’ and Through Life availability, repair and maintenance support. In response to these changes, some of the world’s most successful Defence & Aerospace companies have relied on Lanner simulation software, support and consulting services to help improve their decision making capability.
Some of our many users include: Airbus, Boeing, BAE SYSTEMS, Daher , General Dynamics, GE, Humaware, LSC Group, PersideS, Raytheon, Selex, Sikorsky, Rolls Royce, Thales, US Army , US Air Force, and UK MoD.
Our Defence & Aerospace customers report a wide range of uses and quantifiable benefits from applying Lanner simulation software, including:
• Predicting and analysing Through-Life capability and costing
• Simulation to improve spares and maintenance supply systems
• Simulation to optimise future MRO operations, supply chains and systems
• Increased capacity through better resource utilisation
• Simulation to improve training forecasts, plans and delivery
• Support of lean manufacturing and six sigma improvement programmes
These companies also report improved confidence in decision making, better communication of recommendations and team integration, and faster buy-in to proposed changes.
Humaware
Humaware is a UK based technology development company dedicated to supporting the development and implementation of Condition Based Maintenance technology in the aviation maintenance repair and overhaul industry.
Over the last four years, Humaware have devloped the Maintenance Demand Forecaster, which is a novel application of WITNESS utilising Monte Carlo technologies developed and validated with Ministry of Defence and European Commission funding.
This new technology allows suppliers of maintenance repair and overhaul to forecast maintenance demand utilising readily accessible data from the condition monitoring system and the maintenance management software. It is available in a desk top format to enable the rapid low cost evaluation of the implementation of Condition Based Maintenance in a client MRO network whilst monitoring its impact on the network.
With this technology the client can stop inefficient and unnecessary scheduled maintenance; improve the ability of the network to provide material and resources in the right place at the right time. It allows businesses to be able to use forecasted Maintenance Demand based on condition and re-engineer the business, in a risk-free environment, to respond to dynamic forecasts.
Below are some case studies related to this industry sector.
