Operations Support Planning (OSP)

Clockwork Solutions technologies are utilized by life-cycle maintenance planners for determining support resource requirements throughout future periods of asset operation.

Operations Support Planning (OSP) is performed before, during and/or after the applicable systems design process takes place. Support resources requirements for single site operations, as well as multi-site operations, are determined as a function of reliability, operations, maintainability, performance goals, and of course, time. 

Performance goals may be modeled in terms of product throughput, asset operations (hours, starts, duty cycles, etc.), asset availability, supply availability, maintainer availability, part mean time to failure, maintainer mean time to repair, etc.  Performance metrics may be defined and created by the system modeler.

The Monte-Carlo simulation method supports complex analysis where time and variability are both factors in future asset performance.  Through rigorous SPAR-based analysis methods, determination of and justification for the following items can be made:

• Spare Assemblies/Parts
• Maintainers
• Associated Budget
