5. Conception and implementation of training measures

Execution of product-related hazard assessments using the ESG tool OSIMA® to comply with all requirements for defence products regarding occupational safety
 

1. Determination and assessment of hazards by qualified personnel (professionals for occupational safety, specialist knowledge in e.g. hazardous substances, radiation protection, lasers)
2. Deriving measures and documentation
3. Can be updated over the entire product lifecycle
4. Evaluation of changes in legal sources
5. Administration of hazard assessments, also for extensive system families

Preparation of product-related environmental and chemical compliance assessments throughout the entire product lifecycle
 

1. Hazardous substance analysis: Determination of hazardous substances or ingredients in products in accordance with legal foundations, transparent presentation of the results
2. Disposal concept: Categorisation of the product according to waste classes, recommendations for their disposal
3. Further consulting services during product development and use

Reduction of development and liability risks through early consideration of safety requirements
 

1. Identification of requirements e.g. from norms, standards, customer requirements
2. Definition and specification of safety requirements with prioritisation of design-critical requirements
3. Support in assigning safety requirements to system elements or development processes
4. Consideration of safety activities in the product realisation process
5. Verification and validation
6. Evidence of conformity and documentation
7. Further support services include research on norms, FME(C)A, maintaining the preliminary hazard list and hazard log

Product monitoring for an appropriate and timely reaction to findings from product use and to changes in the product environment
 

1. Collection, processing and evaluation of technical and logistical data on faults, complaints and repairs to identify problem areas and weak points
2. Fault and maintenance analysis to optimise maintenance concepts, processes, measures and training
3. Development of suitable measures

Feasible product changes within the timeframe, capability scope and budget
 

1. Execution of feasibility studies, profitability analyses and risk minimisation studies
2. Analysis of system compatibility
3. Generation of change documentation
4. Implementation of test/sample installations

Reduction of lifecycle costs and extension of product lifetime through proactive and reactive obsolescence management
 

1. Identification and substitution of obsolete components
2. Suggestions for obsolescence elimination
3. Strategic obsolescence management as development-related consulting service
4. Maintaining the capability of the system even if the service life is extended
5. Avoidance of high change costs in later lifecycle phases
6. Compliance with all relevant regulations and standards

1. Factoring decommissioning into project-related logistical concepts and lifecycle cost analyses
2. Creation of disposal concepts
3. Execution of hazard assessments for disposal-related activities
4. Detachment of the decommissioned systems from the procedures, e.g. through SASPF data maintenance
