Procedures for Collection of Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability Data on Electrical and Mechanical Systems.

Abstract

This report presents the results of a study of methods to acquire and store data on the reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) of electrical and mechanical systems. Data acquisition methods previously used by the Corps of Engineers were reviewed and new methods and equipment now being developed were evaluated. Forms are proposed to aid in the collection and handling of information in a logical manner. Methods for storing data either manually or by computer are also PRESENTED. The results show that new computer systems, together with available communications equipment and the proposed forms, can be combined to provide an efficient and economical means of acquiring and storing RAM data.
