SOS™ was developed by and for maintenance engineers and materials procurement personnel. It incorporates a combination of industry accepted algorithms as well as SOS™ proprietary algorithms which are invoked based on the answers provided to a very specific set of technical and business related criticality questions. At the completion of an assessment, the criticality profile is utilized in conjunction with standard EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) calculations to recommend an appropriate max/min holding. At this point, further 'what if ?' exploration is encouraged, including examination of alternative usage estimates, lead times and repairability.

There are a number of topics to review to see the ways that SOS™ has been used in real world applications: Greenfield Sites, Replenishment, M & A - Mergers and Aquisitions, Cyclical Events, Competition, Existing Inventory and Risk Averse.

SOS™ will assist you to get the "correct" level of spares. SOS™ will scientifically assist you to reduce spares on a net basis after validating existing levels, reducing some, increasing others. Essentially SOS™ asks " Do we need these spares and if so how many?"

No, all commercially available CMMS's require that you enter the details of your proposed maintenance schedules, from which they will carry out all the associated tasks of job card issuing, generation of history data, linking to other systems etc. RCM Turbo™ is a modeling methodology for generating those initial maintenance plans, optimized and ready for export to the CMMS. It is also a full documentation system for your maintenance strategy development and a platform for continuous improvement and review.

In most large scale plant or process operations, maintenance strategies have evolved over time and very often, the original decision making process was not documented. ​Even worse, maintenance strategies were based on business and economic conditions which no longer apply. Where reactive maintenance has slowly moved to preventative then predictive maintenance, there is often a mix of activities which are far from optimal. RCM Turbo provides an assessment environment within which to model alternative scenarios, to accurately examine both their effectiveness and technical effectiveness, while observing the principles of reliability centered maintenance.

RCM Turbo is vitally concerned with the following important aspects of maintenance strategy development: • Do all of our assets perform at levels demanded by both our internal and external customers ? • Can we guarantee that we are spending the right amount on maintenance and in the right areas to achieve the required performance of the plant ? • Are we doing any unnecessary maintenance tasks, or are there some tasks which we should be doing but are not ? • Do we feel confident that we know the process by which our equipment fails ? • Are we sure that equipment failure in our operators will not cause dangerous accidents or environmental hazards ? • If we lose our experienced maintenance people tomorrow, will we still retain their experience ? • If we have a failure, are we confident that all relevant actions to recover and re-commission the plant are documented and easily found ? Are some of our failures caused by the very activities which are supposed to prevent failure ( a common feature in predominantly 'fixed time' maintenance environments ) ?
