Connect sustainment decisions to readiness, risk and lifecycle cost.
MADE helps engineering teams connect readiness, failure behaviour, maintenance strategy, safety risk and lifecycle cost — supporting sustainment decisions across decades of operation.
Complex systems make sustainment decisions harder to prove.
Sustaining a complex asset means balancing safety, reliability, availability and cost as its operating context changes. Distributed responsibilities, supplier involvement and disconnected engineering information make it harder to compare maintenance options and support consistent decisions.
Mission-critical defence assets require sustainment decisions that connect readiness, failure behaviour, maintenance strategy, safety risk and lifecycle cost across decades of operation.
Connect sustainment decisions to risk, cost and lifecycle performance.
MADE connects model-based evaluation with the Digital Twin and Digital Thread so teams can assess how failures, operating context and maintenance choices affect asset risk and lifecycle performance.
From operating context to sustainment evidence.
MADE supports a structured workflow to define operating context, model failures, compare maintenance approaches, calculate cost impacts and validate sustainment decisions.
Define
Define how and where the system will be used, including mission profile and operating environment.
Model
Identify potential failures, dependencies and when they are likely to occur.
Analyse / Mitigate
Identify optimal failure mitigation and maintenance approaches for critical risks.
Calculate
Generate expected maintenance requirements and lifecycle costs for the asset.
Validate
Use technical analyses to evidence safety, reliability and maintainability outcomes.
Sustainment challenges MADE helps solve
MADE connects engineering knowledge with model-based RAMS analysis to support maintenance and sustainment trade studies.
Disconnected analysis workflows
Replace spreadsheet-driven analysis with structured, model-based workflows that can be reused and updated as asset configuration and operating assumptions change.
Distributed engineering responsibility
Maintain consistent engineering knowledge across geographically dispersed teams, functional groups and supplier organisations.
Unclear cost impacts
Understand how asset configuration, mission profile, usage cycle and operating environment affect ownership cost.
Late risk discovery
Identify and analyse risks that impact safety, availability and lifecycle cost before sustainment decisions are committed.
Weak budget validation
Support budget forecasts with engineering calculations and technical analysis rather than untested assumptions.
Knowledge loss
Capture, configure and transfer engineering knowledge across the analysis lifecycle and product lifecycle.

SAFETY, RELIABILITY AND MAINTAINABILITYSafety, reliability and maintainability evidence from one model
MADE helps engineering teams generate the technical evidence needed to evaluate sustainment options, including FMECA, Fault Tree Analysis, Reliability Block Diagrams and RCM outputs.
MISSION AND ENVIRONMENTAnalyse how the system will actually be used
MADE supports mission profile definition and environment loading, enabling engineering teams to understand how operational context changes reliability, maintainability, safety and sustainment cost.
What MADE offers as sustainment decision support.
MADE supports sustainment decisions through model-based trade studies, lifecycle cost analysis, configuration-controlled engineering knowledge and reusable analysis.
Cost effective
tangible benefits to productivity, decision quality and ownership cost.
IT conformity
works with existing or proposed IT architecture, including CAD and PLM.
Reusability
model-based approach that is extensible and supports configuration variations.
Knowledge capture
configuration management of the model and data across the analysis lifecycle.
Engineering calculations behind sustainment confidence.
MADE uses a combined simulation model of the asset to compare alternate sustainment operating concepts and evaluate sustainment decisions.
Technical
Reconcile functional capability with customer requirements.
Safety
Evidence the safety case using FMECA, FTA, RBD and RCM outputs.
Budget
Support cost estimates with engineering calculations and analysis.
MADE functionality for sustainment analysis
MADE connects modelling, safety, reliability, maintainability and PHM analyses into one integrated modelling and analysis environment.
