Monte Carlo · Scenario studies · Decision support

Design for Six Sigma

Structured, data-led methods for robust products and processes, from requirements through validation.

DMADV · Optimisation · Verification

Condition monitoring

Interpretation of vibration, temperature, lubricant and performance data to understand equipment condition.

Vibration · Lubricant analysis · Predictive maintenance

Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul

Experience in diagnostics, maintenance planning and repair or overhaul support for mechanical and electrical systems.

Engineering approach

Rigorous enough for engineering. Clear enough for action.

Georges Popovici’s approach starts with the technical question, the available evidence and the decision to be informed. Future collaborations would combine rigorous analysis with clear explanations and knowledge transfer.

01

Frame the problem

Clarify the system, constraints and definition of success.
02

Build the evidence

Model, measure, simulate or inspect what matters.
03

Transfer capability

Deliver a solution your team can understand and use.

Future collaboration

From technical uncertainty to a usable decision.

Illustrative topics for future collaboration once the consultancy is launched. Scope, timing and deliverables would be agreed for each assignment.

Model and decision support

Establish assumptions, build a fit-for-purpose model and turn simulation results into a documented engineering decision.

Deliverable · Traceable model and decision record

Condition-monitoring plan

Select meaningful indicators, establish acquisition and review routines, and connect thresholds to maintenance actions.

Deliverable · Monitoring logic and response workflow

MRO problem resolution

Structure failure evidence, define the repair or overhaul scope, and transfer the resulting method to the workshop team.

Deliverable · Repair scope and reusable work instructions
