CATLOC version 6 released

13 January 2012

The purpose of CATLOC is to provide qualified decision support through calculation and analysis of costs and revenues in one or several alternative scenarios. In the new CATLOC version 6, this ability has been further improved with the addition of a refined sensitivity analysis, a new ability to import from SIMLOX and an improved import from OPUS10.

CATLOC is used in key programmes by leading organisations worldwide. The ultimate aim for CATLOC is to make it as easy as possible to get the decision support needed for making informed decisions with a high confidence level.  The sensitivity analysis in the new release takes an important step towards this objective, as it offers great possibilities to manage risks and make more confident decisions.

CATLOC is part of Systecons’s tool suite, which primary focus area is logistic support analysis. At the same time, CATLOC is a generic stand-alone tool that is also ideal for contexts not related to logistic support. So far, however, a majority of CATLOC users also use other tools in the suite. The extended and improved integration with these tools should be a very useful enhancement for these users. Input data and results from OPUS10 optimizations and SIMLOX simulations can now be used directly as input for CATLOC.

Another new addition is Categories, which is a way to group costs. It is for example very suitable for modelling environmental fees and impact costs, side by side with traditional costs
