SLICwave helps you to fully define your product as designed, plus all the support information his affects: engineering decisions/justifications, predictive reliability and failure information, maintenance requirements (including related required human resources/skills, support and test equipment, spare parts, etc.). SLICwave can help you understand how to support your product more cost effectively while operating within the required performance metrics. Additionally, it provides the information you need to lower your risk by:

Reducing inventory
Improving response time
Improving reliability
Managing obsolescence and technology upgrades

FROM CRADLE to GRAVE

Design decisions made early in the acquisition process obviously have a significantly higher impact than those made later in the program when any change may be prohibitively costly. Therefore, it is critical to make good decisions as early as possible. SLICwave enables you to define, assess, and analyze your product and product support plan, providing you with powerful and effective decision-making capability.

SLICwave FITS YOUR BUSINESS PROCESSES

The most widely used COTS supportability software package in the world, SLICwave can be customized by you to meet your needs. Additionally, SLICwave is designed to integrate with your other tools to create the total solution you need to improve your Risk/Reward Ratio.

SPIRAL ACQUISITION PROGRAMS

SLICwave supports you through your entire product life cycle. You can feed your operational metrics (failure rates, task times, etc.) back into SLICwave, resulting in more accurate data to create supportability analyses and reassess your support options. This spiral approach ensures that you are regularly improving operational availability and reducing costs.

Logistics Support accounts for 60% of the total life cycle cost of your product.
