OPERATIONAL OPTIMIZATION SUCCESS STORIES

Depot Optimization Case Study

Huge distribution warehouse with high shelves and loaders. Bottom view.

Raytheon Technologies contracted Lone Star to construct a simulation of the existing sustainment environment enabling the evaluation of labor cost drivers, material cost drivers and lead time relationships.

The Issue

  • RTX is responsible for sustaining complex electronics systems, spanning supply chains and engineering across multiple locations.
  • The legacy approach lacked cost-effectiveness and failed to achieve the desired sustainability outcomes.

The Solution

  • MaxUp® OPS Stochastic Simulation: Utilized Lone Star’s MaxUp® OPS simulation to analyze the existing sustainment environment.
  • Holistic Assessment: Evaluated labor cost drivers, material cost drivers, and lead time relationships.
  • Actionable Insights: Rapid evaluation of multiple strategies, fostering consensus, and preparing for PBL transition.

Inspecting the fighter aircraft before each flight is part of a process to ensure that the jet is clear from any maintenance issues. General Bishop is flying with the 77th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron deployed from Shaw Air Force Base, S.C.

The Results

  • Collaborative Efforts: RTX and DOD customers jointly assessed sustainment strategies.
  • Risk Assessment: Solution used to gauge risk and evaluate proposals deeper in the supply chain.
  • Optimized Execution: Enhanced sustainment support execution through precise optimization.
