A measurement of the effective use of capital equipment and human capital.
The Sente Way
In many aerospace and defense engineering environments, test equipment management is marked by ad hoc, disconnected and unordered processes throughout the organization. This lack of structure stifles productivity, limits the flexibility of capital and causes other problems.
Conventional crib-based "check-in and check out" software solutions cannot fix these problems because they merely address their symptoms and not the underlying causes and so come up short on results.
The Only Holistic, Effective Test Equipment Management Approach
A comprehensive test equipment management solution represents an excellent opportunity to reduce costs, increase productivity and optimize human and financial capital invested in the test environment.
Welcome to The Sente Way. It's the industry's only holistic solution addressing effectiveness in three key aspects:
The equipment lifecycle.
- initial capacity and demand planning through acquisition
- to coordinated management of tests…
- …characterization of equipment total costs
- …management of obsolescence and reduction of service costs
- through disposal
The assets.
- large "monument" test assets such as wind tunnels, engine testers, and shakers
- general purpose, re-deployable assets such as meters, scopes and analyzers
- project-specific assets such as cables, break-out boxes and fixtures.
- And software used in test environments
The approach.
- Processes: Over 250 detailed and fully integrated process maps that have been refined for each asset category over 15 years, are consistent with underlying organizational dynamics and can be tailored to your environment.
