ALE Tools & Modeling

ALE has successfully supported the logistics community for over 20 years. In order to accomplish this, we have relied on smart analysts effectively applying a wide variety of modeling, estimating, and simulation tools. Our extensive collection of tools include both commercial logistic software tools as well as custom developed tools tailored to successfully address specific logistic challenges through modeling and analysis.

ALE's efforts in logistic support analysis have often required the development of custom tools that are tailored to specific applications and scenarios. ALE is adept in developing the models necessary to understand and solve our customers' unique problems. Some examples include the award winning Front-End Analysis model, as well as flexible Life Cycle Cost models that can be tailored to address commercial or military interest. A more comprehensive list of ALE developed tools and models include:

  • Front End Analysis Trade Study Model
  • Reliability Allocation & Aggregation Tool
  • First Order Life Cycle Cost Model
  • Operational Availability Model
  • Repair Level Analysis Tool
  • Logistic Support Analysis Models & Tools
  • Commercial Tools and Models

In addition to custom developed tools, ALE utilizes a broad array of standardized commercial tools to achieve the desired results. Our standard tools include reliability analysis models, product support databases, and life cycle cost and repair level analysis models.
