Plugin synthétiseur ECAD
Plugin de déclassement des composants et de prédiction du MTBF pour un seul PCB

Plan, stock, and maintain just right
at the lowest life‑cycle cost. 

apmOptimizer® is BQR’s decision-support suite for optimizing system / asset / fleet maintenance policies and logistics from, design through operation. It unifies Life Cycle Cost (LCC), Level Of Repair Analysis (LORA), Spare Parts & Inventory, Scheduled / Preventive / Predictive Maintenance (PdM), Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) and performance analysis into one workflow. Import structures and failure data from CARE® (FME(C)A, RBD, failure rates) or Excel / CSV, then model mission profiles, repair policies, lead times and budgets. apmOptimizer® computes the maintenance plan and spares strategy that meets availability targets at minimum LCC, often reducing total maintenance and downtime costs by up to 35%. 

apmOptimizer® is On-Prem (not cloud).

Key Modules

LCC:

Life Cycle Cost analysis with CAPEX / OPEX breakdowns and scenario comparisons. 

Scheduled Maintenance Optimization: 

 

Optimize PM intervals, inspection frequencies and overhaul cycles. 

RCM & MSG‑3 Management:


Structure tasks from FME(C)A into actionable maintenance programs compliant with industry practices. 

LORA:

 

Level Of Repair Analysis to select  repair / replace / overhaul strategies and echelon policies. 

 

PdM & RBI: 

Balance condition-based maintenance and inspection plans; ROI assessment for sensors / IIoT. 

Field Data Analysis:


Extract failure distributions from field failure logs.

Spare Parts & Inventory Optimization: S

 

tock levels, reorder points, multi-echelon policies, lead-time and obsolescence handling. 

Performance Analysis:


Evaluate availability, downtime, throughput and service level KPIs under mission profiles. 

Advanced Modeling Capabilities 

Failure modes
 

Evident, gradual and hidden; mixed distributions (Exponential, Weibull, Log‑Normal, Normal). 

Constraints & Objectives

Minimize LCC subject to availability / service‑level targets and budget / resource limits. 

​

 

Redundancy and Sparing

hot / cold standby rules, repair queues and resources. 

Analysis Capabilities

Analytical solvers for sensitivity, uncertainty and what‑if exploration. 

​Logistics
 

Warehouses / echelons, supplier lead times, minimum order quantities, shelf‑life and obsolescence.

System Maintenance Tree & Map

Maintenance Breakdown Tree:
Includes reliability, maintainability and cost data.

 

Logistic Support Map:

Presents the operation sites, stocks, repair shops, OEMs and transportation routes for each item in the maintenance breakdown tree.

​

Reliability Block Diagram

Presents the redundancy model of the selected block (Serial, Parallel, K out of N or Stand-By).

Core Benefits

Cut costs

Reduce maintenance, downtime and spare stock while sustaining  high SLA / availability.

Smart inventory

Avoid stock‑outs and overstock with optimized reorder points and spares. 

 

Faster, better decisions

Rapid analytic runs to converge on feasible, budget‑aligned plans. 

Strategic clarity

Quantify trade‑offs (CAPEX vs. OPEX, PM vs. PdM) with clear ROI indicators.

Design‑time integration

Plan logistics and maintenance during design for smoother rollout. 

Operational resilience

Fewer bottlenecks, improved readiness and customer satisfaction. 

HOW It Works

Data intake

Import product tree, parts and failure data from CARE® (FME(C)A/RBD) or Excel/CSV; define mission profiles and environments. 

Model Policies

Set repair/replace strategies, inspection tasks, PdM triggers, logistics echelons, lead times and cost parameters. 

Optimize

Run LCC, spares and schedule optimizers; iterate PdM/RBI and LORA decisions to meet availability and budget targets. 

Validate & Sensitivity

Use analytics to test robustness to demand, failure rate and lead‑time uncertainty. 

Report & Deploy

Publish maintenance plans, stock lists and KPIs; export to Excel/Word/HTML and share with operations and procurement. 

Integration with BQR's Toolchain

apmOptimizer® operates as part of BQR’s integrated
RAMS reliability ecosystem: 

Extracts schematic/BOM and context from ECAD at design time. 

Supplies realistic component stresses and MTBF to inform failure rates and lifing assumptions. 

Provides FME(C)A, RBD and failure data; closes the loop with safety/maintainability analyses. 

Together, these tools provide a digital‑twin maintenance & reliability workflow from schematic to system maintainability, safety and reliability. 

Outputs & KPIs 

  • LCC breakdown (CAPEX, spares, labor, downtime, logistics). 

  • Availability, readiness and expected downtime per asset / fleet; MTTR/MTBF‑driven KPIs. 

  • Optimized maintenance program (task list, intervals, resource plan). 

  • Spare parts policies (stock levels, reorder points, service levels, multi‑echelon allocations). 

  • ROI for sensors / IIoT and inspection equipment; recommended PdM / RBI configuration. 

  • Exportable reports: Excel, Word and HTML; dashboards and Pareto views for cost / risk drivers. 

Typical Use Cases 

  • Fleets and rolling stock, aviation ground support and defense systems. 

  • Oil & gas, utilities, and process industries (rotating equipment, pipelines, substations). 

  • High‑throughput manufacturing lines, robotics and automation cells. 

  • Data centers and telecom infrastructure (availability‑critical services).
