Description

Reliability and Maintainability (R&M) For Logisticians, presents an overview of acquisition reliability and maintainability policy and its application to logistics support.

Objectives

Explain how a product's R&M characteristics will affect the measures of logistics support and ultimately the cost of support.

Explain how a product’s R&M will affect the measures of combat capability, including operational availability. Convert operational R&M requirements into contractual/design R&M requirements.

Know which design activities are crucial to assuring a highly reliable product.

Distinguish between maintenance and maintainability; explain two types of diagnostics errors and their associated effects; explain the benefit of vertical testability; distinguish among mean downtime, mean active maintenance time, and mean time to repair; and recognize why the maintainability of a system depends on the reliability and maintainability of its subsystems.

Explain the Test-Analyze-and-Fix process and the Duane Model for planning and tracking a reliability growth program; recognize the concept of decision risk, and the value of a statistical test plan in reliability qualification testing (RQT).

Explain how to keep manufacturing from adversely impacting a product’s reliability; identify the effects that latent defects have on missions and logistics support; distinguish among the three lines of defense aimed at keeping latent defects from reaching the field.

Target Attendees

Logisticians, program managers and others who need to understand how R&M affect logistics support costs and readiness/availability.
