Our goal is to improve mission success of ships and systems/equipment by concurrently integrating Reliability, Maintainability, and Availability (RMA) analyses with design efforts. Mathematical models and computer simulations are developed to help predict overall system and ship performance. The advantage of this process is increased operational availability, reduced downtime, lower up-keep costs, enhanced personnel safety, optimizes equipment operational performance, identifies possible need for equipment redundancy or fail-safe modes, and improved customer confidence/satisfaction. To achieve this goal, we:
We look for continuous improvements in RMA predictions as an indication that our systems engineering process has successfully integrated logistics engineering into the design process. This also ensures maximum availability of the product resulting in minimal life-cycle costs to the customer.
