“…Extracting and exploiting the information that corresponds to the vessel performance is critical as this can be used to support spare parts contracts [113] in such a way that the objective assessment of costs and benefits across the supply chain can calculated. To achieve this, the roles of key stakeholders during the "inservice phase" will need to be better understood [131], as it can enhance the vessel's the capability.…”

“…A modern naval vessel or warship/ submarine would consist of in excess of 100 integrated systems that are linked structurally, mechanically, electrically, hydraulically, pneumatically and electronically [2]; thus warships/submarines may be viewed as a system of systems [3]. All of these systems need power and cooling, and many need to communicate with each other in order to achieve full operational capability [2].…”

“…It was emphasized that operational availability is the key process for design of warships supportability and support systems as well as measurement, improvement and optimization of the ships and support systems during In-Service phase. The InService phase of a naval vessel will typically constitute 70% of the vessel's through-life cost [3] over its life cycle, therefore it is a significant area of research for efforts in optimization. As opposed to the current trend of 'availability-based contract' in UK [10] and Australia [11], implementation of the In Service Support [ISS] Contracts in Malaysia remains based on 'execution upon receipt of order only' philosophy or commonly known as per-order basis.…”

Rapid development of shipbuilding and ship repair industry in recent years has been increasingly transforming the way organizations apply the long term strategic thinking of "cradle to grave" maintenance approach in order to maximize their growth in a dynamic marine industry. With increased ship complexity, size and revolutionary design, organizations strive to balance ideal maintenance philosophies against on-going efforts of cost reduction whilst maintaining high availability of vessels. Despite aspiration and efforts to improve the ship availability, the Royal Malaysian Navy [RMN] vessels which are currently maintained under the In Service Support [ISS] Contracts are hardly tackling the human and equipment related aspects due to limited knowledge and available data on ship Downtime Influence Factors [DIFs]. The current research carried out an explorative study across various engineering disciplines to generate RMN ship maintenance DIFs and their severity measures via a 3-Stage Modified Delphi approach. 30 Experts experienced in daily implementation of naval ship maintenance contracts were involved. In the first stage, Focus Group Discussions [FGDs] amongst Experts were conducted to produce the DIFs, followed by questionnaire distribution to measure the severity of the DIFs in the second stage. In the third stage, the Severe DIFs were confirmed and ranked based on a Risk Assessment method. The study revealed 50 DIFs to RMN ship availability and deduced the top 15 Severe DIFs pinpointing the key problem areas to prioritize efforts in improving RMN ship availability.

“…The ISS contract is to perform the management, logistic services, engineering and training required to support the naval vessels in order to operate and perform its function through its lifecycle. The ISS phase of a naval vessel will typically constitute 70% of the through-life cost of the vessel [4], therefore it is an important area to be attended to. In addition, [5] presented an indicative value of losses due to downtime, stating that for a ship valued at USD500mil and 30-year target service life, would lose the navy approximately USD50k/day if the ship is not operational.…”

The improvement of naval ship operational availability remains a critical aspect to navies worldwide. Despite sophisticated methodologies and complex In-Service Support Contracts in place to achieve high operational availability, even the most advanced navies are still struggling to strike a balance between availability targets, budget and regulatory restrictions. This situation is also applicable to the Royal Malaysian Navy. A Contract Management Control and Monitoring System (ConCaMS) was developed to target both human and machinery related factors affecting naval availability or so-called Downtime Influence Factors. These factors are identified and prioritized based on their severity based on Delphi methodology. The resulting system is validated via top management experts that concluded in unison the benefits of ConCaMS especially in improving availability.
