Integrated logistic support at Cegelec, what is it?

Whether equipment user or system user, your objective is to have equipment or systems available as long, as easily as possible and at lower cost.

This is why you have to be provided with a support system associated to your equipment or system called Main system.

This Support System is composed of support elements including:

GLOBAL RESPONSIBILITY

CEGELEC has highly skilled engineers capable to act as Integrated Logistic Support Managers (ILS Manager) and to prepare and perform design, operation or maintenance tasks in France and in other countries.

CEGELEC conducts and coordinates studies and projects whether under its direct responsibility or entrusted to other partners in order to obtain an efficient operational support within time frame.

RAMS STUDIES

Experience gained by CEGELEC in system design and implementation of many different standards enables our company to conduct reliability, maintainability, availability and safety studies based on many different specialised tools.

Our approach :

The RAMS plan,
defines and plans in agreement with the customer all studies and analysis which are necessary to complete the RAMS studies,

The functional analysis,
carried out according the SADT or functional block diagram method, enabling to take into account all system functions,

Logistics tree structure design,
the tree structure will provide the grid for all subsequent analysis,

Reliability analysis,
carried out thanks databases (MIL HDBK 217 , CNET or NPRD), this analysis enables to define the average time between system failures and provides the base for spares determination.

FMECA,
Or failure mode effects and criticality analysis.
Analyses all possible system failures .The FMECA enables either a return on design for critical failures or the definition of support elements. The FMECA can also be used for security/safety studies,

Analysis of failure tree structure,
necessary to analyse particularly multiple failures,

Maintainability analysis,
consists in analysing what maintenance can be, lead time and the required staff to deploy. The analysis can also include equipment and system testability studies.

Availability studies,
resulting from the before mentioned studies and enables to set both system availability ratio and define degraded modes.

Safety studies,
aim to identify and reduce risks related to safety and security.

LIFE CYCLE COST STUDIES

CEGELEC has developed for its own needs a vast experience in the analysis of acquisition, utilisation and support costs by utilising different tools in its possession. These iterative studies which can be initiated as from the feasibility phase, enable to budget, to approve and back up choice on maintenance and also to identify cost factors.

LOGISTIC ENGINEERING

CEGELEC's expertise in managing projects of different scales enables to ensure logistic support analyses proportionate to needs to meet requirements as well as to provide different associated services covering:

ASL plans,
Enabling to define and plan tasks in relation with the analyse of possible solutions, options and choice of support elements ,

Analyses of logistic support,
In compliance with the MIL STD 1388 standard with different tools, utilisation of specialised databases making the definition and supply of support elements easier.

maintenance plans,
plans defining the maintenance policy to adopt according to the studies conducted,

cost optimisation,
optimisation on different criteria (operational availability, non stockout percentage)

environment fit,
analysis of the existing situation at customer's so as to use as extensively as possible competences and means already acquired.

specification of support elements,
specifications of different support elements.

DEFINITION AND PRODUCTION OF SUPPORT ELEMENTS

Cegelec's means enable to achieve the definition and production of support elements :

Training and training support,
CEGELEC has its own training centre with qualified trainers and provides courses as well conceptual as practical,

Technical documentation and computerised documentation,
CEGELEC has desktop publishing means enabling to provide documents according different standards in different languages whether on paper or computerised with hyper-text navigation.

Spares,
CEGELEC draws on human resources and IT means enabling to define and manage spares as required by the customer to ensure optimal availability of its system,

Packaging, handling, storage and transport,
Relying on its vast experience, CEGELEC can define and provide many different means to implement for packaging, handling, storage and transport of equipment and its support elements.

Technical control desks and tools,
CEGELEC is capable to define and in some cases supply different maintenance technical control desks and necessary tools,

Maintenance premises,
One of CEGELEC's businesses consists in defining and supplying both civil and military infrastructures and it has many project references in the field of maintenance shelters,

Software support,
Software support is an essential field of studies and development for Cegelec which is faced with this issue through its different programmes whether civil or military.

Cegelec is backed up by an engineers team at Nanterre highly skilled in logistics standards and methods as well as by a logistics workshop capable to carry out studies.

Our range of computing tools includes:

• Functional analysis (ORCHIS)
• Reliability studies (RAM COMMANDER, CARE)
• FMECA (FMECA PROCESSOR)
• Fault trees (RISK SPECTRUM)
• SLI management (BUROLOG)
• Logistic databases MIL STD 1388 2B (L BASE, OMEGA 2B)
• Analysis of repair levels (LORA)
• Life cycle cost (CASA, EDCAS)
• Maintenance management (CARL-PRO/CARL-MASTER, COSMAN/COSWIN, MP2, MAORI, CIMAINT)
• Supply (DREAM)
