The Maintenance Aware Design environment (‘MADe’) is a suite of software tools developed by engineers to meet practical engineering requirements of system design, condition monitoring and health management.

MADe enables the engineer to rapidly model, assess and minimise the impact of failures in complex systems. Engineering failures refer to any manner in which a structure, mechanism or system ceases to fulfil its specified function.

The MADe system modelling and decision support tools are used to design, assess and implement diagnostic and health management controls that improve reliability for safety / mission critical systems.

The continuing focus on minimizing risks, reducing costs and provide a strong case for the need for tools that:

• optimise system capability
• optimise design process
• accelerate product development lifecycle
• optimise reliability performance
• improve condition / health monitoring capability
• reduce Life Cycle Costs
