Data Collection Requirements for System Reliability Analysis

In a typical maintenance scenario, using standby redundancy to achieve desirable availability is a common strategy. For example, a good number of pumps are deployed in the field and when a pump fails, instead of repairing the pump in the field, the operator swaps the faulty pump with a spare pump (standby) and hence minimizes downtime. The faulty pump is then sent to workshop for repair and after repair, it joins the spare pool.

The first part of this presentation shows how such scenarios can be simulated using a software tool to compute reliability matrices (Availability, Optimum Number of Spares, Expected Number of Failures, etc.). In the second part of this presentation, we will take a look at the data collection requirements necessary to support reliability analysis for a system involving repairable Line-Replaceable-Unit (LRU) or standby spare.
