Maintenance Vs. Maintainability
-Maintenance is the act of repairing or servicing equipments

-Maintainability is a design parameter intended to minimize repair time.

Maintainability Criterion
Criterion-1 Availability is a critical parameter?
Criterion-2 Availability is not a critical parameter!
Criterion-3 Maintenance time is unknown!!!
Criterion-4
Right hand skewness is expected :
-simple equipment
-simple maintenance concepts
-comprehensive diagnostic routines
Criterion-5 Lognormal or skewed right hand
Criterion-6
Environmental or operational circumstances limit maintenance
time
Criterion-7
Human resources allocation and planning have overriding
priority

System Effectiveness : Availability
Includes only active repair time
Inherent
Availability
Active repair time and preventive
maintenance time
Achieved
Availability
Active repair preventive maintenance,
administrative, logistic delay time as well
Operational
Availability

System Effectiveness : Dependability
Dependability can be described as the probability that a system will
accomplish its assigned mission.


D = OM(1 OR) + OR

-OM : Operational Maintainability
-OR : Operational Reliability
