CATLOC Course
Introduction to LCC modeling and the use of our CATLOC tool for building and analyzing flexible cost models.
The objective of the CATLOC course is to introduce the concept of LCC (Life Cycle Cost) modeling and the use of CATLOC to build and maintain flexible LCC models. CATLOC makes it possible to analyze all costs freely in a number of dimensions. Common dimensions of interest include:
- Materials (systems, equipment, items, spare parts...)
- Stations (stores, workshops, sites of operations...)
- Tasks (maintenance tasks, PM / CM ...)
- Resources (personnel, maintenance equipment...)
- Time
Any combination of cost dimensions can easily be studied and analyzed in CATLOC.
CATLOC can also be used for modeling revenues, which enables cost/profit analyses.
Course participants will learn to analyze CATLOC results to tackle a number of common situations, for example:
- Evaluate tenders
- Identify cost drivers
- Manage data uncertainty
Participants will also learn:
- How to perform sensitivity analysis in CATLOC for efficient identification of parameters that have a large impact on costs
- How CATLOC can be used with database information
- How data can be imported to CATLOC from OPUS10/SIMLOX
- After each complete CATLOC analysis participants learn how to design customized reports with results displayed in custom graphs / tables and LCC trees
The course also covers typical / advanced modeling features in CATLOC such as:
- Building LCC trees
- Defining cost functions
- Efficient data assignment using default rules
- Handling of costs related to structure of dimensions (materials, station, etc.)
Course Structure
The course is limited to 8 participants. The course will include extensive hands-on use of CATLOC and the exercises are intended to challenge the participants who will work at their own pace, aided by the instructor when necessary.
