SINAVY LCM - Life Cycle Management

  Ensuring the readiness and availability of your fleet

Portfolio Frigates and corvettes, mine sweepers, supply vessels, submarines and many other naval vessels are in service worldwide. Many of these vessels have been in service for ten years, some even longer. Technology, processes and the functionality of on-board systems have in the meantime under-gone considerable change and development. The maintenance of these vessels becomes increasingly difficult, spare parts for older systems which may have become redundant are no longer available. Consequently the availability of on-board systems could then be affected. Modernizing and upgrade measures would then be beneficial in order to extend the lifetime of vessels and reduce 'through life support costs'. Siemens Marine Solutions' Life Cycle Management can offer individual solutions for the complete on-board electrical package - even when the original installation was not supplied by Siemens.
Spare Parts Needed spare parts must be on board as soon as possible but mostly with out delay therefore you need:   System specific spares defined during project     phase with ship owner Spare part availability over a guaranteed period World Wide network of warehouses Equipment repair procedure Online stock on request Exact logistically and execution     Service Providing the most comprehensive service as possible means: Specialists must be available Competent online service World Wide service Exact logistically and intelligent execution of the service     Service Contract Benefits All above mentioned LCM activities can be combined in a service contract to save cost with following benefits: Immediate access to industry sector Specialists to minimize down times Immediate service within agreed response time Optimized maintenance concepts Single point of contact Online service on request Spare part logistics individual tailored to Customer Individual training program for crew on request		Maintenance The maintenance be-comes more and more difficult, so a complete range of maintenance to keep the sub-marines operating at high performance levels over a long term is requested. Such as: Regular breakdown maintenance activities Preventive maintenance Planned maintenance after approx. 2.5 years     during docking Planned maintenance, repair or overhaul after     approx. 5 years     Retrofit Retrofit and upgrade measures would be more cost effective in order to extend the lifetime of submarines and reduce the „life support costs“ as well as ensuring the readiness and availability of the fleet. For this following is absolutely necessary: Exact planning and execution of modernization Specialists must be available Comprehensive service manual Preventive maintenance plans Customer friendly reporting system Detailed documentation     Training Training programs for the crew and maintenance personnel to increase availability and operational safety should be worked out. The training program should have different tasks for different trainees. The main tasks are: Preventive maintenance work Execution of measures Fault finding process Trouble shooting Operational instruction for nautical and machinery     personnel
