HVR Ref: ISMOR21 Portfolio Presentation HVR Consulting Services Ltd Slide 3 Developing through life management plans What are the project outputs? When are they needed? What are the decisions (plus their criteria) and activities needed to deliver the outputs? When are these decisions and activities needed and what do we need to do to get there? Where does the responsibility lie? What resources and processes do we need to put in place? What do we need from other people? Business and ‘political’ Environment Time/Cost/ Performance Trade-offs Whole life Whole system Stakeholders (who are they, what are their needs, what is their influence?)

Key objectives for MoD customer and supplier Develop a long term work plan out 3-5 years Ensure effective dialogue between MoD and its industrial partner Prioritise a wide range of potential work packages Developed a programme of work – HVR working with MoD and industrial partner: Identifying risks associated with the asset Assess impact Explore mitigation options Prioritise a work plan

HVR Ref: ISMOR21 Portfolio Presentation HVR Consulting Services Ltd Slide 6 Interacting with the decision maker The customer and supplier needed a shared data repository and analysis framework to develop their long term strategy jointly MoDSupplier Data and analytics Data collected on individual safety and availability issues and associated mitigations – open book and fixed Global data for what ifs e.g. resource productivity and cost

HVR Ref: ISMOR21 Portfolio Presentation HVR Consulting Services Ltd Slide 7 Top level user requirements Visualise sets of complex data in an intuitive way Provide an aid to communication between supplier and MoD Provide a methodology to support balance of investment decision making. Mitigation options will be limited by available funding and the study team needs to be able to identify which options can provide maximum benefit Ensure that a full audit trail is provided from data collection through to decision making Ensure that supplier and MoD are easily able to update the data on an ongoing basis

Options can be selected through filtering and sorted Prioritisation for the selected options can be performed for: Best Estimate Best Case Worst Case “Value for money” Mitigation Benefit Score Cost of all aspects of mitigation (materials, manpower, environmental and availability) Cost of all aspects of failure (material, manpower, environmental and availability) Likely impact on knowledge gaps (probability of success and impact if successful)

HVR Ref: ISMOR21 Portfolio Presentation HVR Consulting Services Ltd Slide 21 Conclusions MoD has developed a comprehensive work plan for next year Fully auditable back to source data Rapid negotiation of packages between supplier and MoD (both technical and commercial much shortened) Communication through the RBBOI tools sets The RBBOI database and options analysis tool is being updated on a regular basis Additional mitigation options arise Track work package progress Anticipated that approach will be used elsewhere within MoD and industrial partner. Collective view is that the approach has strengthened interaction between decision maker and supplier
