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.

Commercial basis
€1,500–€4,500 fixed
Engagement model
Fixed-scope L01 or L02; monthly L03 only after a client-accepted baseline
Begin with
One agreed asset population and the best available EAM or CMMS extract, asset register, BOM, stock record, maintenance history or OEM lifecycle notice.
Finish with
A controlled asset and data-gap register, ranked continuity exposure, named action owners and a client-approved 90-day programme.

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.

01

Start with a usable population, not a perfect database

A site, unit, line or equipment family creates a controlled review boundary. Missing tags, BOM links and records become visible work, not a reason to delay the first decision.

02

Rank consequence and supportability together

Failure consequence, redundancy and shutdown exposure are assessed alongside OEM support, obsolescence, stock, repair options and real lead time.

03

Give every priority a decision route

Each high-risk population receives a documented stock, source, repair, replace, modernise or monitor action with an owner, evidence threshold and decision date.

Four visible decisions

From fragmented asset data to an owned continuity programme.

Not every asset needs the same depth of work. The baseline identifies where evidence and continuity exposure justify a critical-spares programme or recurring lifecycle control.

01 · Establish baseline

Establish the installed-base baseline.

We reconcile EAM or CMMS extracts, asset registers, BOMs, P&IDs, tags, nameplates, stock records, maintenance history and OEM lifecycle information within one agreed boundary.

L01 · S08 · Installed-base & Obsolescence BaselineDecision-ready resultControlled asset register, evidence-quality status, duplicate and data-gap register, and the population accepted for review.
02 · Rank exposure

Rank criticality, lifecycle supportability and obsolescence.

Consequence, redundancy, failure history, support status, obsolescence, available stock, repairability and lead-time exposure are scored on one visible basis.

L01 · S08 · Installed-base & Obsolescence BaselineDecision-ready resultPrioritised asset populations, decision deadlines, evidence thresholds and an explained continuity-risk position.
03 · Assign action

Assign stock, source, repair, replace, modernise or monitor actions.

The viable action for each priority is checked against technical acceptance, stock economics, supplier capability, outage windows and the evidence still required.

L02 · S08 · Critical Spares & Replacement ProgrammeDecision-ready resultCritical-spares and replacement programme with action owners, route assumptions, budget inputs and a 90-day execution plan.
04 · Keep current

Govern execution and refresh the baseline.

OEM notices, stock exceptions, repair and supplier actions, document gaps, shutdown readiness and implementation of completed decisions are tracked through an agreed review cadence.

Commission the work needed for the next asset-lifecycle decision

Baseline. Critical spares. Recurring control.

L01 establishes the baseline. L02 follows when priority populations justify a critical-spares programme; L03 becomes available after the client has accepted the baseline.

Buying context

A population of installed assets has fragmented records, uncertain supportability or exposed spares, and the next continuity action is not prioritised.

One agreed asset population and the best available EAM or CMMS extract, asset register, BOM, stock record, maintenance history or OEM lifecycle notice.

Useful starting evidence

Start with one clearly bounded asset population.

A complete plant register is not required. The strongest available export or document is enough to establish data quality, the first review boundary and the next evidence request.

01

Installed-base scope and population

What to include

Site, unit, line, equipment family and approximate asset count

02

Evidence already available

What to include

Asset register, BOM, CMMS export, P&ID, manuals, nameplates or stock list

03

Failure consequence and redundancy

What to include

Production, safety, quality or environmental impact; available standby or bypass

04

Obsolescence, stock and lead-time exposure

What to include

Known end-of-life notices, remaining stock, repairs, last-time-buy deadline and current lead times

05

Decision and shutdown window

What to include

Audit horizon, outage or turnaround date, budget cycle and first decision deadline

06

Required lifecycle decision

What to include

What must be stocked, sourced, repaired, replaced, retrofitted or monitored—and who approves

Assess installed-base risk

Responsibility boundary

UI structures the decision. The client retains technical and economic authority.

UI structures the register, evidence, ranking and recommendations. The client’s named maintenance, asset-integrity and engineering authorities approve criticality, stocking policy, equivalence, fitness for service and any technical change.

01

Rankings remain tied to the agreed population, supplied evidence and stated assumptions; they are not presented as a complete plant risk assessment.

02

Site walkdowns, condition assessment, NDT, fitness-for-service studies and certification require separately appointed, legally competent parties.

03

Stock recommendations consider consequence, redundancy, lead time, shelf life, preservation, repairability and working-capital exposure—not BOM presence alone.

04

Any equivalent, repair, retrofit or technical change remains subject to approval by the client’s named authority and any required independent regulated assessment.

Start with the live decision

Start with one unit, line or equipment family.

Send an EAM or CMMS export, asset register, BOM, stock list, critical-equipment list or OEM lifecycle notice. The assistant will preserve the S08 context, identify the first evidence gap and route the request to L01, L02 or L03.
