The Hidden Risk When Equipment Quietly Becomes Obsolete
Modern defence programmes rarely fail overnight. Instead, small changes build up over time.

Supportability analysis makes sure systems and products are easy to maintain, reliable, and ready for long-term use.
Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) is often seen as a process-heavy task, checklists, compliance and data. But at its heart, it is about people.
At Quorum, we believe that training should never be a tick-box exercise. It should build confidence, strengthen relationships and give people the tools to deliver results that matter.
Struggling to find consultants who understand both the demands of military service and the detail of Engineering Support? Many firms offer one or the other, but defence projects need both to succeed.
Complex systems and products often require more than a transactional supplier. It requires a partner who can share responsibility, anticipate challenges and stay committed throughout the system’s lifecycle.
Defence projects involve complex systems and products, hazardous materials and strict regulations.
Every ship has a final berth, a place where it ends its active life and begins the process of Disposal. Disposal Planning is the careful preparation needed to ensure this stage happens smoothly, safely and without surprise costs.
Supportability analysis makes sure systems and products are easy to maintain, reliable, and ready for long-term use.
Defence systems are full of complex parts, some big, some small, all expected to work when needed. But what happens when one piece breaks or becomes outdated?

From the ILS Plan to maintenance data, training materials, and spares provisioning prove that your system is supportable over its full life.
In defence and other high-risk industries, poor support planning leads to equipment that breaks down often or takes too long to fix. Oh, we forgot to mention that it costs more to run, eating into your profits
Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) Analysis shows how often systems fail, how fast they can be fixed, and how ready they are. Basically, it guides planning and support.
When military systems fail, lives and missions are at risk. Keeping complex tools and machines ready takes more than good design. It takes strong planning, smart support, and the right people, parts, and data in place. So, what is the purpose of Integrated Logistic Support in military projects?
The supportability engineering process is a series of planned steps to ensure a system can be maintained, repaired, and supported throughout its life
In the oil and gas industry, equipment downtime can be costly, impacting productivity and increasing operational expenses. With assets spread across large sites and often operating in harsh conditions, ensuring equipment remains in top condition is essential. The question is: how can businesses in the sector maximise equipment uptime and prevent costly disruptions?

FMEA is a method used to find and study possible failures in a system, product, or process. It looks at how something might fail, what happens if it does, and how likely it is to occur. Teams rate failures based on severity, frequency, and how easy they are to detect. This helps them focus on the most serious risks.

Cyber-attacks come in many different forms, and they can be large-scale, aimed at corporations, utilities, and government while small and medium-scale attacks target you, your family, and perhaps your business.
Are you seeking effective supportability solutions for your engineering projects? Ensuring that complex systems are reliable, maintainable, and cost-effective throughout their lifecycle is a significant challenge.
