SOME PROCEDURES IN DESIGN FOR MAINTAINABILITY
Abstract
Procedures for including maintenance design considerations in advanced systems analysis and conceptual design are emphasized. Maintenance design procedures applicable to development, production, and operational phases are identified. The types of maintenance design requirements and specifications that should be prepared, the purposes they serve, useful content and organization, background sources, and priorities for different requirements are discussed. A systematic approach to the identification and analysis of required maintenance functions is described. Major steps in functions analysis are the identification of different maintenance areas; separate approaches to the identification of preventive, corrective, recycle, and direct support functions; collation, combination, and organization of maintenance functions; and tradeoff of functions between man and machine.
