Navy Reliability and Maintainability Policy Study.

Abstract

This report covers the investigation of all major reliability, maintainability, and availability (RMA) policies that affect the aquisition of hull, mechanical, and electrical equipments for the Navy. Acquisition includes all life-cycle phases from concept formulation through equipment disposal. Emphasis is placed on RMA policies during all the design phases, the maintenance/overhaul phase, and the redesign phase. In addition, data systems used to monitor the effectiveness of the equipments, as well as the analytical techniques used to manipulate the data to provide RMA indices, are examined. Personnel training policies are also investigated.
