Alo Services, LLC

We offer a world leading suite of tools and services that are utilized by a large number of manufacturers and O&M providers including Augusta Westland, Lockheed, Boeing, Heli-One and others. Not only can our operational analyses be utilized to make timely and effective decisions, we guarantee that the results of our analysis will increase operational capability and lower costs. Our Operational Analyses, and Systems Optimization work is defensible, repeatable, and objective. Our methods are approved, algorithms scrutinized, and tools V&V'd. This quantitative, credible, and relevant set of outputs creates a set of irrefutable products for decision support requirements.

Our tool suite, The OPUS Suite is the world leading, advanced and versatile Operations Analysis, Support & Simulation Tool. The OPUS Suite optimizes support structure, re-supply strategy and support resources from a holistic perspective for a given set of relevant scenarios, based on how to achieve the needed capability at the lowest possible cost. The OPUS Suite also executes accurate simulations of how system availability varies over time given a specific operational profile once the support structure and resources have been set. These analyses enable reduction of risks and costs, without compromising either. Industry leaders worldwide use it to increase capability and mission efficiency, while reducing cost and footprint. Our tool suite is the only available tool that permits detailed modeling of real world scenarios without computational constraints. This ability to quickly model changes, automatically produce graphical reports, and interface with a variety of database systems makes the suite an ideal tool for capability assessment. It is the only tool available capable of optimizing 10,000 independent variables in less than 1 min on a standard laptop computer.

No other tool suite covers all the following fields:

? Pinpoint the most cost effective design solutions

? Assist in optimizing initial support concepts

? Simulate the effects on capability and cost for alternative allotments of material, manpower and other resources

? Provide detailed sustainability or endurance studies

? Verify operational requirements such as:

? "Number of achieved operational hours should be at least 85% of requested hours"

? "Number of unavailable systems shall not exceed 4 during any 24 hour period with 90% confidence"

? Find bottlenecks and weak points in the support organization

? Analyzing the effect on capability and cost of proposed improvements and modifications

? Study the impact of time dependent factors such as peak loads, transient and changing configurations

? Study the effects of cannibalization, batched transports, priorities etc.

? Determine availability effects of corrective and preventive replacements

? Provide easy handling of System Variants, System Priorities, Lateral Support, Damages, Resources, Transfers, etc.


Our expert Business Analytics and Optimization Support services effectiveness can be measured over the period of performance by reporting gains in example measures of effectiveness such as:

o Average Number of Backorders
o Number of System Operational Ready
o Mean Waiting Time for Spares
o Risk of Shortage of Spares
o Mean Down Time for Systems
o Probability of no Backorders etc.
o Average Operational System Availability


Our customers report saving 20-40% of maintenance costs combined with increased availability when using our services.
