“…They also analysed the results when considering different missions types and extended it to peace situations (Upadhya and Srinivasan, 2005;Upadhya and Srinivasan, 2012). Orsagh et al (2003) undertook a very similar approach, considering battle damage and unreliability failures to simulate mission conditions, combined with the analysis at component level. The model is represented in Figure 3.…”

Characterising maintenance costs has always been challenging due to a lack of accurate prior cost data and the uncertainties around equipment usage and reliability. Since preventive maintenance does not completely prevent corrective repairs in demanding environments, any unscheduled maintenance can have a large impact on the overall maintenance costs. This introduces the requirement to set up support contracts with minimum baseline solutions that warrant the target demand within certain costs and risks. This article investigates a process that has been developed to estimate performance based support contract costs attributed to corrective maintenance. These can play a dominant role in the through-life support of high values assets. The case context for the paper is the UK Ministry of Defence. The developed approach allows benchmarking support contract solutions, enabling efficient planning decisions. Emphasis is placed on learning from feedback, testing and validating current methodologies for estimating corrective maintenance costs and availability at the Equipment Type level. These are interacting sub-equipment's that have unique availability requirements and hence have a much larger impact on the capital maintenance expenditure. The presented case studies demonstrate the applicability of the approach towards adequate savings and improved availability estimates

This article summarizes the work that has been carried out as part of the FLAVIIR project, a 5-year research programme looking at technologies for future unmanned air vehicles (UAVs). This is a UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council funded project sponsored by BAE systems. A framework to estimate the life cycle cost of UAVs is presented. The acquisition costs are estimated using a hierarchical structure and a discrete simulation model is used to estimate the maintenance and operation costs. The architecture to estimate the life cycle cost and the associated models are described. A framework is presented in which the cost models developed can be integrated into the design process to facilitate the comparison between different configurations. It is then demonstrated how this framework can be used to perform trade-off analysis and cost-based optimization.
