Component P(K/H)P(D/H),P(I/H), Exercise, 26 March 1992

Abstract

A Component Pk/H workshop was conducted to recommend a program to solve a particular VLD-wide problem. An ancillary benefit was to determine the effectiveness of the TQM techniques being promulgated within the BRL/ARL. The workshop defined the problem and the process involved in reaching a specific solution. Guided by that process, the workshop identified tools to be developed that would result in a methodology for component PK/H evaluation generally applicable throughout the VLD. These tools included: Data for Sensitive Areas, Component Kill Criteria and Component Pk/H The possibility of combining the one database was observed; A museum of actual hardware for training of inexperienced analysts; general computer code, built upon the existing PKGEN, with augmentations as noted. There was general agreement that the workshop was quite a success. Unexpected agreement was reached on a solution to a fairly complicated and personalized problem. It was also a source of pride to several that the workshop was able to get as far as it did in a single session. It was noted that TQM is not so much a technique as it is an attitude. That attitude, characterized by concern for the expectations of the customer, was apparent in the workshop. TQM, Component Kill probability, Component damage probability, Data bases, Workshops.
