Identify the asset before the part
Nameplate, machine, serial number, duty, material, dimensions and interfaces reconstruct the controlled identity.
S08 · Installed-base & Lifecycle Support
Prioritise the installed base before the next failure.
UI turns dispersed asset, maintenance, stock and OEM lifecycle data into a ranked continuity programme: what to document, stock, repair, replace, modernise or monitor—and in which order.
- Timing
- 2–8 weeks for L01/L02; L03 is a minimum three-month retained service after baseline
- Commercial basis
- L01 €1,500–€4,500 · L02 €3,000–€9,000 · L03 €1,500–€5,000/month
- Engagement model
- Fixed-scope baseline or critical-spares programme; retained lifecycle desk only after baseline
- Begin with
- Installed-base scope and population · Evidence already available · Failure consequence and redundancy
- Finish with
- Installed-base & Obsolescence Baseline · Critical Spares & Replacement Program · Lifecycle Support Desk
Pricing assumes usable remote evidence and one agreed asset population. Site walkdowns, specialist condition assessment, testing, engineering approval and physical products require separate scope and acceptance.
What the page must resolve
Three routes after installed-base risk is ranked.
Rank consequence before sourcing
Safety, downtime, redundancy, stock, failure mode and replacement lead time define how much uncertainty is acceptable.
Compare routes on one basis
OEM supply, equivalent, repair and qualified manufacture stay comparable against the same technical and acceptance evidence.
Four visible decisions
From an unidentified failure to a controlled supply route.
The route is selected after the asset, consequence and acceptance basis are understood—not from the first available quotation.
01 · Identify
Reconstruct the component and its duty.
We reconcile tags, drawings, photographs, dimensions, materials, operating conditions and installed interfaces.
Decision-ready resultControlled component identity, data-gap register and preliminary technical baseline.
02 · Rank
Classify the installed-base risk.
Failure consequence, redundancy, available stock, shutdown window, obsolescence and lead-time exposure are ranked.
Decision-ready resultCriticality class, required response time and acceptable evidence threshold.
03 · Select route
Compare OEM, equivalent, repair and manufacture.
Each option is tested for fit, performance, qualification, documentation, warranty, cost and delivery risk.
Decision-ready resultRanked route recommendation with assumptions, deviations, price and lead time.
04 · Qualify & release
Control capability and acceptance.
Supplier capability, process controls, inspection, traceability, deviations and final documents are managed before release.
Decision-ready resultOrder-ready requirement and traceable release dossier for the selected route.
Commission the decision your asset base needs
Baseline. Critical spares. Recurring control.
The three engagements are independent. Start with the evidence and continuity risk; move to execution or a retained desk only when the baseline supports it.
L01
Installed-base & Obsolescence Baseline
What this engagement buys
Controlled asset and data-gap register, criticality and supportability ranking, high-risk population and a 90-day action plan.
Commercial basis€1,500–€4,500 fixed · normally 2–4 weeks after scope and data acceptance · site walkdown separateBuild the installed-base baseline ↗
L02
Critical Spares & Replacement Program
What this engagement buys
Critical-spares register, stock and lead-time exposure, OEM, equivalent, repair or qualified-manufacture routes, evidence gaps and execution plan.
Commercial basis€3,000–€9,000 fixed · normally 4–8 weeks · products, testing and travel separateBuild the critical-spares program ↗
L03
Lifecycle Support Desk
What this engagement buys
A recurring register for spares, obsolescence, repair, supplier and document actions, shutdown readiness and management decisions.

Useful starting evidence
Start with the evidence attached to the asset.
A drawing is useful, but not mandatory. A nameplate, photograph, failed sample or maintenance record can establish the first controlled question.
01Installed-base scope and population
What to include+
Site, unit, line, equipment family and approximate asset count
02Evidence already available
What to include+
Asset register, BOM, CMMS export, P&ID, manuals, nameplates or stock list
03Failure consequence and redundancy
What to include+
Production, safety, quality or environmental impact; available standby or bypass
04Obsolescence, stock and lead-time exposure
What to include+
Known end-of-life notices, remaining stock, repairs, last buy and current lead times
05Decision and shutdown window
What to include+
Audit horizon, outage or turnaround date, budget cycle and first decision deadline
06Required lifecycle decision
What to include+
What must be stocked, sourced, repaired, replaced, retrofitted or monitored—and who approves
Responsibility boundary
Equivalence is an engineering decision, not a catalogue resemblance.
UI controls identification, comparison and supplier evidence. Regulated design authority and final technical approval remain explicitly assigned.
01
No equivalent is presented as interchangeable without a stated acceptance basis.
02
Reverse engineering and manufacture require lawful data rights and client approval.
03
Safety-critical or regulated changes remain subject to the competent engineering authority.
04
Availability, capability, price and lead time are verified for the live requirement, not assumed from historic data.
