The simulation
is controlled via a powerful user interface that allows selection
and editing of data, running the simulation, analysis of results
and a number of analysis tools, including risk analysis. The business
processes are documented through interactive influence diagrams
that are accessible via every input and output in the model. These
diagrams ensure that OSCAM is not a black box and enables understanding
and confidence in the outputs generated by the model.
OSCAM JSF v2 is designed to be flexible so that it can be used
to represent a wide range of scenarios for different partner countries.
OSCAM JSF v2 also provides a number of choices on the level of
detail that is required to populate a data record. This allows
OSCAM to be used early on in the development process and then
to grow as the program matures to include a more detailed representation
of the program.
OSCAM
JSF v2 incorporates lessons learned and feedback from OSCAM users
and includes new options into OSCAM where previously work-arounds
were found to be required.

OSCAM is the common interface to link with the partners and offers
a number of benefits:
- It provides
a common baseline for reconciliation purposes.
- OSCAM's
use of System Dynamics thoery to estimate future O&S Costs
is more powerful than traditional techniques (i.e. Excel).
- Ideal
for evaluating O&S "what-if" scenarios with
respect to cost and availability.
- The
model is not a "black-box" - OSCAM users have complete
insight into the equations and relationships that are used
via the built-in help functions and model structure document.
- The
model facilitates understanding of O&S processes, O&S
costs, and the interdependencies that exist.
- OSCAM
encourages a team approach; it can be used throughout the
life cycle by logisticians, cost analysts, engineers etc.
- OSCAM
provides a standardized, yet flexible approach to estimating
/ analyzing O&S cost and availability
OSCAM
JSF v2 will be available to anyone who currently has access to
JSF v1. In order to help the migration from version 1 the new
features incorporated into version 2 are described, with movies
demonstrating some of the enhancements. More…
A series
of automated tutorials have been created designed to provide a
taste of the functionality to those who have not yet attended
the training course, as well as a "how to..." reminder
for those that have. Five tutorials demonstrate worked examples,
whilst new features are highlighted using smaller tutorials. More…
OSCAM
JSF v2 and JSFPO datasets are available for download. A username
and password is required for the download, which is provided on
successful completion of the training course. Any patches and
updates for OSCAM JSF v2 will also be available here. More…
