MADE for Asset Management

Turn sustainment decisions into validated lifecycle outcomes.

MADE supports an integrated, analysis-driven asset management process that helps engineering and sustainment teams understand availability, safety, lifecycle cost and maintenance impacts before decisions become operational risk.

Lifecycle Impact Understand availability and cost implications.
Risk Mitigation Identify, analyse and reduce technical risk.
Trade Studies Compare sustainment concepts with evidence.
Knowledge Capture Standardise workflows, data and decisions.
The Challenge

Asset performance depends on decisions made across decades.

Economic performance is dictated by the safe and reliable productivity of operating assets, and the availability and budget impact of maintenance. That means teams must constantly balance technical engineering risk, mitigation choices, operational requirements and budget constraints across a product lifecycle that may span 10 to 40 years.

The issue is not a lack of data. It is disconnected decision-making.

MADE brings the analysis, process and model-based structure needed to connect engineering risk, sustainment strategy, maintenance actions and lifecycle outcomes.

MADE for Asset Management
Integrated Decision Support

From operational concept to validated sustainment strategy.

MADE integrates the analysis capabilities required to support trade studies on availability, safety and cost of ownership — with standardised workflows, data structures, automation and integration pathways into related engineering and asset management applications.

Define
How and where the system is being used.
Model
Which failures are occurring, when, where and why.
Mitigate
The optimal maintenance actions and strategy.
Validate
The technical, safety and budget evidence behind the decision.
Solution Requirements

A structured process for better lifecycle decisions.

MADE supports the process and tools required to identify, analyse, mitigate, document and continually improve sustainment decisions.

1

Identify risk and impact

Identify and categorise risks and factors that affect availability, safety and lifecycle cost.

2

Analyse root cause

Analyse identified risks, failure behaviour and root causes using model-based RAMS methods.

3

Develop mitigation actions

Evaluate appropriate risk mitigation actions and maintenance strategies before implementation.

4

Document the strategy

Document the optimal maintenance approach, expected costs and supporting technical rationale.

5

Generate artefacts

Generate the technical and safety artefacts needed to support validation, governance and review.

6

Iterate with operations

Refine analysis and decisions based on operational outcomes, feedback and observed failure data.

How MADE Supports Asset Management

Capture the sustainment parameters that matter.

MADE enables users to model and analyse the parameters that shape asset performance, maintenance effectiveness and lifecycle cost.

Operational context

Define how and where systems are used, including mission profile and environmental stress inputs.

  • Mission profile definition
  • Environmental stress inputs
  • Operational usage assumptions

Failure behaviour

Understand when failures are expected, what is failing and the causes that drive degradation or loss of function.

  • Functional and failure analysis
  • Reliability analysis
  • FMEA, FMECA and Fault Tree Analysis

Maintenance optimisation

Identify how best to avoid, mitigate or manage failures through optimised maintenance actions and strategies.

  • Reliability-Centered Maintenance
  • Back-fit RCM
  • Maintenance action reporting

Cost and traceability

Estimate maintenance cost, document trade studies and retain traceability from model assumptions to decisions.

  • Maintenance Cost Estimate
  • Traceable trade studies
  • FRACAS and DRACAS enablement
Validation

Compare alternate sustainment concepts with engineering evidence.

MADE uses a combined simulation model of the asset to compare alternate sustainment operating concepts and support validation across technical, safety and budget outcomes.

Technical validation Reconcile functional capability with operational and engineering requirements.
Safety validation Provide evidence for safety analysis using FMECA, Fault Tree Analysis and supporting model outputs.
Budget validation Support cost estimates with engineering calculations, analysis and simulation outputs.
Analysis Workflow

A repeatable workflow from definition to report.

MADE standardises the asset management analysis workflow so knowledge is captured, validated and reusable across the lifecycle.

Use Case Definition

Define how the system is expected to operate and what outcomes must be supported.

Environment Loading

Capture operating conditions that influence reliability, degradation and sustainment demand.

Functional / Failure Analysis

Model system function, failure modes, propagation paths and operational consequences.

Reliability Analysis

Understand expected failure behaviour and its impact on availability and maintenance demand.

RCM and Back-fit RCM

Identify effective maintenance actions for both new and existing asset configurations.

Maintenance Action Report

Generate the documentation needed to support, justify and communicate the maintenance approach.
