RAMS
Reliability, availability, maintainability and safety analysis on systems that have to carry a mission.
What it covers
Reliability, availability, maintainability and safety: failure rate prediction, failure modes and effects analysis, restoration time assessment, common-mode failure review. Its purpose is to know beforehand, rather than after the fact, how far a system carries the mission it is built for.
What it leaves behind
Reliability predictions, FMECA, maintainability plan, and the requirements that follow from them on component selection, redundancy and spares.
Evidence in the portfolio
The programme cards state the work performed by capability — design, development, integration, AIT, installation — not the discipline under which it was carried out. A list of programmes here could only be built by attributing a discipline, after the fact, to an activity that does not name one: that would be an inference of ours presented as a fact. Until the cards state it, this page stops at the definition.
