RIMSys RIMSys®, Reliability Incident Management System, the software facilitates the re c o rding, management, resolution, and archiving of equipment failure incidents Company Information: OMCS International Name: Steve Turner Address: 1 Slough Road, Altona Contact: Steve Turner Phone: +61 3 419 397 035 Fax: +61 3 9395 2512 Email: rob@omcsinternational.com Web: www.reliabilityassurance.com Software Details - Functionality: RIMSys, facilitates the recording, management, resolution, and archiving of equipment failure incidents. RIMSys is a simple process which guarantees that records, reports and projects will never be lost or forgotten. OMCS has added a new feature to its Reliability Incident Management System software. The new feature is designed to integrate data from remote or isolated areas quickly and simply. Now it is possible for staff without access to the RIMSys application to raise incidents into the RIMSys database using a basic Microsoft Word form to automatically submit data via your e-mail program. RIMSys is specifically designed to target equipment failure incidents which cause unexpected down time and production loss, and which, therefore, require investigation to prevent these incidents reoccurring. The new RIMSys software guides you through defined investigation, action, implementation and archiving processes, and, can be customised to suit the needs and structure of your organisation. It records all incidents, giving a summary screen for a clear overview, which details screens for specifics, searching, filtering, data extraction and reporting. Each incident is assigned a ‘status’at every step along the way and user definable consequences can be assigned to each incident to assist with prioritising. RIMSys software is an e-mail based notification system. Through Microsoft Outlook it can be configured to notify individuals and groups of certain events in the investigation resolution process. RIMSys is designed as a stand-alone software, appealing to most maintenance professionals. It can also be purchased as part of the PMO2000 software allowing quick retrieval of planned maintenance tasks associated with the equipment being investigated. It includes a configurable Risk Assessment calculator and can be an attachment of any type of file to each incident for archiving formal reports, and including photographs in recording and investigations. You can purchase or rent the full version of RIMSys via internet download and credit card transaction. Rental prices start from just AUS $1700 p/a. RIMSys is designed to take the administrative headache out of investigation. Now with RIMSys at your service, gone are the days when you "can't find that piece of paper" or when you cannot respond in seconds on the status of a specific investigation.

The Australian owned and developed RCM Turbo methodology is the choice of organisations world wide for the development and review of optimised, RCM based maintenance schedules. From nuclear power plants to pet food processing operations, the principles of RCM are applied using RCM T u r b o to the generation of maintenance regimes that lead to minimisation of failure consequences, while striking the optimal balance between equipment reliability expectations and total annualised cost. RCM T u r b o re p resents a powerful decision support platform while leaving a detailed audit trail of the basis for all assumptions. At the same time, the issue of spare parts required to sustain the maintenance practice is an important one. The Spares Optimisation System (SOS) continues to address this in a unique manner. A criticality assessment is applied to establish the importance of a spare to continued plant re l i a b i l i t y. This priority outcome is convert e d to a recommended max/min holding, taking into account economic order quantity and safety stock calculations. A cost/risk analysis is also applied to expensive items or capital/insurance spares. Advanced 'What if ?' exploration capabilities enhance decision making in SOS. Both RCM Turbo and SOS will deliver substantial and measurable business improvement. Call Strategic for an on site presentation.

46 Survey 2005 Special Maintenance Applications Software analysis of complex operational and logistic support scenarios. Company Information: Name: SYSTECON AB Address: BOX 5205, SE10245 STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN Contact: Oskar Tengo Email: systecon@systecon.se Web: www.systecon.se Software Details - Functionality: SIMLOX is a powerful and versatile tool for simulation and analysis of complex operational and logistic support scenarios. It will simulate how performance varies over time given certain operational profile, support structure, spares assortment and maintenance resources. SIMLOX is ideal for capability assessments. Accurate simulations will identify and correct problems, bottlenecks and shortages before real world operations are compromised. SIMLOX provides graphs on system availability, resource utilisation, actual vs requested mission time etc. SIMLOX handles any technology or organisation. It will accommodate for “robbing”, battle damages, batched transports, lateral support, scheduled transfers (of systems, items or resources) and more. Spares Optimisation System (SOS) Unique expert decision support methodology for establishing whether or not to hold a spare and if so, in what max/min quantities Company Information: Name: Strategic Corporate Assessment Systems Pty Ltd Address: P.O. Box 427 Heidelberg, 3084 Contact: Chris Kelly Phone: 03 9455 2211 Fax: 03 9455 2233 Email: chris.kelly@strategicorp.com Web: http://www.strategicorp.com Software Details - Functionality: SOS is a Windows based software application which provides users with a consistent, auditable platform for deciding whether or not to hold a spare part. If the decision is to hold, then SOS will recommend an appropriate max/min quantity. SOS is unique in that it utilises an expert approach to the decision making process. Through a criticality assessment taking consideration of a combination of technical and business implications, SOS will make a holding recommendation ready for export to the existing computerised maintenance management system, or will justify the introduction of new items to the store. SOS does not rely on the mathematical manipulation of movement history, thus it can be applied to new equipment spares and equally to slow moving items. A final decision will be a direct reflection of current maintenance practice. Developed by and for maintenance engineers, SOS is an optimising tool, not a 'slash and burn ' approach. Where the business is exposed to risk through insufficient holdings, SOS will clearly indicate the implications. A cost/risk module is provided for the assessment of contentious, expensive and capital/insurance items, where the cost and risk of stockout is graphically compared to the holding costs of the item. SOS is also a 'what if ?' tool. Users can explore the effect on recommended holdings based on alternative lead times, usage and repairability implications. This functionality can clarify the path to new, vendor arrangements while quantifying the effects. SOS is a 32 bit Windows (9x, NT, XP) application provided on CD-ROM for standalone or network use. Licences are provided on a perpetual basis, for unlimited users. Hardware required is Pentium level or better. Costings including training, implementation and corporate licences are provided on application. Strategic also offers spares optimisation services through its affiliate Sparesoptimization.com.
