Design

In today’s fast-paced industrial landscape, where product development cycles are accelerating and system complexity is increasing, integrating testability from the earliest design stages is essential. Anticipating how a system will be tested, maintained, and supported throughout its lifecycle is key to reducing long-term costs, minimising technical risks, and ensuring operational reliability.

Traceability plays a vital role in maintaining system integrity and compliance across complex engineering environments.

At Spherea, we collaborate closely with our clients to implement Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies. This enables the early integration of Model-Based Safety Analysis (MBSA), enhancing system resilience and availability while maintaining cost efficiency.

The expertise of Spherea teams can be deployed within your organisation or alongside your programme teams to support system availability and performance. We help define and implement optimised testing strategies tailored to your programme needs.

We provide contractual proof of availability levels (detection rate, location rate), support the definition of maintenance and support policies through:

Implementation of eXpress software to support design or RAMS teams

Execution of testability studies for system component suppliers

Studies of maintenance procedures, including fault trees for locating onboard and field system faults

Drafting of optimised support system specifications to maintain operational readiness

In addition, we offer support for tools from the ISDD Tool Suite by DSI International, including:

Assistance with tool deployment;
Training in French for internal users;
Ongoing support for tool usage and implementation of engineering and testability best practices.
