SOLUTIONS FOR AGILE
AEROSPACE & DEFENCE

Defence Manufacturing solutions for complex engineer to order, often managed using projects - integrating the full design and development lifecycle into production and through-life.

Supports the management of an asset to extract optimum life (required life vs. cost) and fleet management to optimise the utilisation of that life while focusing on safety, optimising yield, minimising asset cost, increasing uptime and regulatory control.

Heavy maintenance covers major maintenance and overhaul activities on vehicles such as aircraft (fixed and rotary wing), vessels, submarines and complex land vehicles.

CRO provides repair or refurbishment of components or assemblies. If component maintenance is run as a separate line of business, services can be sold directly to customers. The solution can be used stand alone or in support of Heavy Maintenance and/or Complex MRO.

Supports MRO for complex equipment and machinery, e.g. main aircraft engines, auxiliary power units (APUs), and landing gear that require disassembly and assembly with full serialised tracking.

Spare parts management is the business scenario of planning and aligning service parts inventories, resources, and processes to ensure optimal customer service and response with minimal risk and cost. SPM can be used as a standalone solution or as a complimentary solution to the rest of the IFS Solution sets.

UMMS is a comprehensive web-enabled maintenance management and reporting system deployed to support the majority of the Surface, Submarine and Auxiliary Fleets in the UK RN as well as all RN/Industry Shore Support organisations. The solution includes Maintenance Management – scheduling, tasking and feedback, Supply Chain integration with maintenance management system, Health and Usage Monitoring (HUMS) integration and Ship to shore synchronisation of all maintenance data with ashore team.

IFS Defence’s RCM solution has, since 1995 exploited the growing market for asset maintenance solutions based on the principles of RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance).  The RCM Toolkit enables storage of maintenance strategies derived using RCM analysis techniques in a database.
