Frequently asked questions

What is Opus Suite+?

Opus Suite+ is a unified platform for analysis-driven Life Cycle Management, integrating OPUS10, SIMLOX and CATLOC into a single modern application. It enables fast, precise analysis, optimization and simulation across a system's entire lifecycle, with an intuitive interface and graphical decision support for data-driven decision making.

What does the modeling interface in Opus Suite+ do?

Opus Suite+ provides a modern modeling interface designed to handle large, complex systems, with a clean layout, powerful visualization tools and smart filtering capabilities. This makes it possible to work with detailed system structures without the interface becoming a barrier to the analysis itself.

How does Opus Suite+ help optimize a support strategy?

Opus Suite+ provides recommendations for spare parts optimization, allows different logistics and support strategies to be compared directly, and helps identify the most cost-effective support solution while minimizing expenses, rather than relying on a single assumed approach.

How does Opus Suite+ identify risk and predict system unavailability?

Opus Suite+ offers a data-driven assessment of system reliability, availability and maintainability requirements within specific support structures and operational contexts, allowing risks to be identified and unavailability predicted before it affects operations.

What does the Report Builder in Opus Suite+ do?

The Report Builder is an integrated reporting tool that stores results from multiple analyses and automatically updates graphs as inputs change, helping users drill down into the causes of downtime rather than working from static, one-off reports.

What specialized capabilities does Opus Suite+ include?

Opus Suite+ includes Optimization for maintenance concepts, spares and logistics support, Simulation and LORA for modeling operations and logistics effectiveness, Life Cycle Cost Analysis for cost prediction across a system's lifecycle, Tactical Optimization for mission-specific scenarios, and Data Integration and Connections for bringing logistics and engineering data together from multiple sources.

What is Simulation and LORA within Opus Suite+?

Tactical Optimization evaluates dynamic scenarios for a specific mission or operating environment, while the platform's broader optimization and simulation capabilities support longer-term, strategic decisions about fleet-wide support structures. Opus Suite+ allows both to be analyzed within the same environment.

How does Opus Suite+ integrate data from different sources?

Data Integration and Connections brings logistics and engineering data together from multiple sources into one environment, so analysis is based on a consistent, shared dataset rather than information that has to be manually reconciled between systems.

Who uses Opus Suite+?

Opus Suite+ is used by Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), Integrated Product Support (IPS), Supportability Engineers and Logistics Teams, across defense, aerospace, energy and public transport wherever complex, long-lived assets need to be sustained at a defensible, affordable cost.

Identify Risks and Ensure System Readiness

Ensuring a system meets design, reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) requirements is key to minimizing risks and verifying performance. Opus Suite+ provides a data-driven way to assess fulfillment within a specific support structure and operational context. This helps both suppliers and customers identify risks, predict unavailability, and evaluate resource and transport needs.

For complex military systems like ships, which serve multiple purposes, assessing each capability is essential. Early identification of downtime drivers and their causes ensures reliability and prevents costly overruns or project failures. With simulation, you can proactively test mitigation strategies, whether by improving the support system for off-the-shelf solutions or refining system design in the concept phase. This approach helps manage risks effectively and keeps operations running as intended.

Opus Suite+ for Cost Control

Cost Control Through the Entire Life Cycle

Opus Suite+ is perfect for predicting cost and revenue for technical systems during their life cycle (or any other time period), and for estimating economic consequences of key decisions on system design, operations and logistics support. Costs can be analyzed on an aggregate level or drill down detail, and distributed over e.g., time, location, equipment or tasks. It is ideal for analyzing LCC, cost drivers and financial risk.
