MRO System Analysis PDF Print E-mail

If you would like to improve the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) strategies and concepts your organisation employs, or you would like to mount a compelling demonstration of why a particular MRO approach is best, we can help. 

MRO systems are effectively well defined, process-based systems designed to turn around a platform/s undergoing a range of work types.  These systems share the fundamental elements of any service-based system like:

  • A set of activities that can be executed on arriving platforms by a work force
  • A work force with various skills categories required for specific tasks
  • An inventory of spares and equipment needed to execute the work
  • One or more bays or lines on which to conduct the work
  • Policies that govern inter-arrival times of platforms
  • Many other moving parts!

Decision Logic can create simulations of these facilities that enable decision makers to change the variables governing how these MRO facilities function.  We can quantitatively test the effects of MRO strategies, facility designs and operations policies on cost, maintenance time and platform availability. 

We enable you to test ideas on things like the most suitable labour category mix, the best shift structures for employees (contractor and in-house), the impact of important consumables availability and the impact of changes to supply chain strategies.  This is done with a view to minimising cost and maximising performance.  Depending on the complexity, we may also be able to test the differences between outsourcing and contracting approaches on overall cost and availability in order to identify a better strategy based on value for money.
