We add value by providing you with a robust, rapid and quantitative way to evaluate and experiment with possible futures.  This can be in support of your own organisation, or it can be to support your business development efforts through demonstrating the superiority of your offerings via robust and independent quantitative methods.

We bring the scientific techniques of operations research (OR) and the latest modelling and simulation tools together with your domain experts to create actionable findings.

 The bulk of what we do falls into the following very broad areas:

1. Improving your organisation's systems, processes and problem areas
2. Proving your future plans for new factories or plants will work before you build them
3. Improving the competitiveness of your organisation's solutions - raising your probability of success
4. Improving your organisation's ability to evaluate complex proposals and tenders

Analysing and Improving Your Organisations Systems, Processes and Problem Areas

Using analytical simulation techniques, we can quantitatively model possible futures of your organisation or system, and measure their likely effectiveness to help identify the best future path.  This spans problem areas like:-

• life cycle costing - which we have expanded to what we call whole of strategy cost and capability modelling
• analysing alternative acquisition and sustainment strategies
• advanced business case modelling incorporating risk
• simulation of training systems and training policies to maximise throughput and resource utilisation and minimse cost
• analysing infrastructure development and new capital procurement
• exploring the impact of major changes to processes, structure or inventory
• virtual prototyping of current and planned manufacturing, maintenance, repair and overhaul facilities and policies through simulation

Our decision support approach integrates our skills and experience in analytical simulation and OR with your domain expertise to produce insights that return disproportionate value in terms of money and time saved. 

Improving the Competitiveness of Your Organisation's Solutions: Raising Your Probability of Success

We also specialise in modelling the proposed solutions your organisation intends to submit in response to Requests for Tender (RFT).  For example, if your organisation wishes to independently verify the merits of your proposed repair and maintenance solution or mount a quantitative demonstration of its performance, then we can help.  We can robustly model the details of your proposed solution over long time horizons, with cost and risk included. Our approach of integrated collaboration means work closely with your experts to model how your solution is structured and how it will function.  Your organisation can then use the simulation we built and its results to run a series of interactive "what-if" briefings for your target client exploring alternate futures.  Well timed, interactive client sessions based on compelling simulations are a very powerful way to increase your probability success and your level of credibility in the eyes of your clients.

Improving Your Organisation's Ability to Evaluate Proposed Solutions

If your organisation is required to understand how the detail of complex proposals might impact your wider systems, operations and bottom line in the real world, we can assist.  Our analytical simulations can be used to objectively model the various proposals you receive in great detail, where required in a whole-of-life cost construct.  This means that in addition to modelling just the proposed system itself, we also model its likely cost, capability and risk elements so you can properly assess any shortcomings, quantify them and generally conduct a more thorough, objective review of tender responses put to your organisation.
