Reliability
Predicting and measuring how long a system performs its required function without failure.
Documentation
RAMS Core
Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety — the disciplines that turn 'it works' into 'it keeps working safely throughout its life'. This area documents the core concepts, the main analysis methods (FMEA, FTA, RCM), and the cross-cutting topics that connect RAMS back to the product record.
Concepts
02Planned
Availability
Reliability combined with maintainability — uptime expressed as a system-level property.
03Planned
Maintainability
Designing for diagnosability, accessibility, and predictable repair time.
04Planned
Safety
From hazard identification to functional safety standards — keeping people and assets unharmed.
Analysis methods
01Planned
FMEA
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis — bottom-up systematic failure analysis, including DFMEA and PFMEA variants.
02Planned
FTA
Fault Tree Analysis — deductive, top-down analysis from a top-level undesired event.
03Planned
RCM
Reliability Centered Maintenance — choosing the right maintenance task for each failure mode, instead of blanket schedules.
Cross-cutting topics
01Planned
Risk Analysis
Identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing risks across a product's life — qualitative and quantitative approaches.
02Planned
Failure Modes
How to enumerate, classify, and document failure modes consistently across a product line.
03Planned
Lifecycle Safety
Safety considerations across the full product lifecycle — from concept and design through operation, maintenance, and decommissioning.
