Planning Model Based on Projection Methodology (PM2)
Abstract
There are a number of benefits associated with the new planning model. PM2 is unique in comparison to other reliability growth planning models in that it utilizes planning parameters that are directly influenced by program management. Some of these parameters include: the initial system MTBF; the fraction of the initial failure rate addressable via corrective action (referred to as management strategy); the goal system MTBF; the average fix effectiveness of corrective actions; the duration of developmental testing and; the average delay associated with fix implementation. A second benefit of PM2 is that the model can determine the impact of changes to the planned test schedule, and associated fix implementation periods. Third, PM2's measures of programmatic risk are not sensitive to the length of the initial test phase (which is a limitation of the MIL-HDBK-189 planning model). Finally, PM2 can be applied to programs with limited opportunities for implementation of corrective actions.
