Simulation & LORA capabilities in Opus Suite+

Predict performance. Prevent downtime.

With the Simulation and LORA capabilities in Opus Suite+, you can take your system and support solution to the next level. Building on your existing system model, Opus Suite+ enables you to analyze reliability, identify downtime drivers, and understand how both system design and support strategies influence operational performance.

By modelling real operational conditions, Opus Suite+ helps you explore how systems behave over time and how changes in maintenance concepts, logistics, or resources impact availability and performance.

Evaluating Performance Against Requirements

Ensuring that your system meets design, reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) requirements is critical to minimizing risk and verifying operational readiness. Through advanced simulation, Opus Suite+ provides a data-driven approach to evaluating performance within a defined support structure and operational environment.

This allows you to identify risks, predict system unavailability, and assess the impact of resource availability, logistics, and transport constraints.

Early identification of downtime drivers and their root causes helps prevent costly redesigns and project delays. With simulation, you can test mitigation strategies early by adjusting maintenance policies, support resources, logistics arrangements, or system design choices. This enables you to evaluate improvements and validate decisions before implementation.

Optimize Your Maintenance Concept with LORA

Opus Suite+ includes powerful Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) capabilities that help determine the most effective repair and discard strategies across complex systems. By analyzing all feasible maintenance alternatives, Opus Suite+ identifies the most suitable repair policies based on operational requirements, costs, and infrastructure constraints.

The analysis helps answer critical questions such as whether a component should be repaired or discarded, where repairs should take place, and how maintenance activities should be distributed across the support network. These capabilities support large, complex systems and provide a scalable, structured approach to optimizing maintenance concepts.

With the Simulation & LORA capabilities in Opus Suite+ you can:

• Dig down into the reliability of the proposed solution, can the systems and support solution meet the operational requirements.
• Find the cause of unavailability and locate the downtime drivers.
• Investigate changes without doing them.
• Investigate all capabilities of your systems.
• Optimise the maintenance concept with LORA-XT.
• Finding a great solution with specific requirements per station.
• Modelling of deployment schedules e.g. phasing of the deployment. 

Simulation in Opus Suite+ helps answer questions such as:

• Do I have enough systems to handle the planned operations? How will systems availability vary over time?
• What is the expected total downtime for a particular period? How will my solution handle peak loads in the systems utilization?
• What is the probability that we will meet our performance targets in a certain scenario?
• What are the reasons that cause downtime and how does different components and subsystems contribute to downtime? 
  How should I focus my time and effort to limit critical downtime, identifying the downtime drivers?
• How will a proposed cost saving measures impact performance?
• How much will performance improve if transport times are reduced by 30%?
