This client had a need to redeploy many of its engineering staff onto new programmes and, as a result, there was a requirement to establish new teams to cover routine and in-service related engineering. The key areas of work included fleet technical support, repair, cost reduction and instrumentation.

Assystem created a solution which fully utilised resourcing options including its own staff, contract engineers and a low cost partner company based in India. Teams where deployed at the clients offices with the latest IT infrastructure needed to support integration with existing systems. The teams were professionally managed by Assystem staff who also took responsibility for packaging work so that it could be executed with greater efficiency and lower cost at an off-site facility. Skills provided were component and system design, analysis and detail modelling in both Unigraphics and CADDS5.
 
Using the full mix of engineering capability within Assystem and through its partner company in India, the client has benefited from lower costs. By taking responsibility for Project Management and leadership, Assystem has allowed the client to effectively redeploy its own experts onto new programmes. In many cases Assystem has managed complete packages of work and been proactive in developing Global low cost alternatives for the client.
