Development of Methodology for Rams Analysis for a System

Abstract

The RAMS belongs to the all facets of System Reliability, System Availability, System Maintainability, and System Supportability performance characteristics of an industrial system where the “industrial system” is a synonym for industrial plant, Manufacturing unit, Power plant, Coach factory, maintenance workshop etc. A successful RAMS analysis requires a systematic approach of data collection, development of database, RAMS models and interpretation of result. This paper deals with the development of RAMS based methodology to evaluate the performance of a system. The methodology has the four step, first is identification of data sources and data acquisition, second is the development of RAMS database, third is Method of RAMS analysis and the last is generation of system performance index.
