Improving System Reliability - 2010 RAMS Keynote
Presenter: David W. Duma
Principal Deputy Director, Operational Test & Evaluation
|
|
|
|
|
| The papers present recommended and new practices, techniques, and new technical design and theoretical solutions for achievement and enhancement of reliability as it is designed into the products.
|
|
|
|
|
| Both government and commercial organizations across the world are recognizing the importance of a strong reliability program to ensure success. This session will explore improvements and best practices for R&M implementation by the US Military, commercial entities and transportation companies.
|
|
|
|
|
| This session covers applying reliability tools to new products or new uses. Papers include applying Petri nets to hybrid vehicles; an efficient method to determine optimal design configurations for repairable systems; comparing classic spares tools vs. newer reliability-based tools in Performance Based Logistics; and combinatorial methods for reliability and sensitivity analysis of multi-state systems.
|
|
|
|
|
| Reliability of systems needs to be optimized through proven assessment and growth techniques during the development phase of all projects. This session will assist in formulating such techniques through successful case studies and newly developed methodologies for complex systems.
|
|
|
|
|
| This session describes actions being taken within the Department of Defense to implement new RAM initiatives directed by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology. Information is presented on the use of reliability engineering design practices; the concept, definition, and rationale for Materiel Availability (Am); and guidelines for Army T&E community use to insure RAM engineering and RAM T&E requirements remain at the forefront of T&E planning and management.

|
| R&M CAE tools are critical enablers for our industries R&M processes. Our RAMS Exhibitors will highlight their latest tools and services through brief presentations and application demonstrations in a neutral setting. Use this session to get a good overview of capabilities, then focus your time on the specific Exhibitors that can help you the most!
|
|
|
|
|
| Members of the MIL-HDBK-217 Working Group present their ideas and thoughts on the military handbook revision progress, and accomplishments towards completion of Rev G in December 2009.

|
|
| The Panel session will focus on 2 topics: 1) the methods used for reliability predictions, including the uses and misuses of empirical, handbooks and PoF Models and Methods and 2) the future improvements to MIL-HDBK-217, with new methods that should be included in a future revision of MIL-HDBK-217 to satisfy the needs for accurate field reliability assessments. This panel will discuss the potential inclusion of Physics of Failure (PoF) methods, system failure cause models, and other methods.

|
|
|
|
| Early on assessment of reliability is becoming more important these days with demanding reliability requirements of advanced technology projects. This session will discuss the available tools to make intelligent high impact decisions during the proposal and selection phase of projects
|
|
|
|
|
| This session contains a collection of papers that explore a variety of modeling and analysis approaches for repairable systems, multi-state systems, and systems that age.
|
|
|
|
|
| The papers in this session explore innovations, advanced theories, and new ideas for conducting accelerated life testing. In this session, papers include a method for accelerating life of viscoelastic materials at sub-sea pressures, accelerated test designs (PRST, fixed time tests and others), modular approaches to testing, and an alternative step-stress test process.
|
|
|
|
|
| This session will present many novel ideas and new applications of Bayesian approaches in reliability engineering, from risk assessment to design decision making to system reliability analysis to condition-based maintenance.
|
|
|
|
|
| Practical applications of accelerated life testing are considered in this session. In this session papers include shaft-seals with complex failure modes, applications to avionics, accelerated tests for software, and a case study of quartz flexible accelerometers.
|
|
|
|
|
| Papers in this session will tell you how to read and use field data correctly, and show you some brilliant ways to estimate reliability from testing results.
|
|
|
|
|
| This session includes papers demonstrating the application of a spectrum physical and logical models to the solution of reliability and risk related problems. The physical models are developed for a variety of environments including fragmentation and pressure impulse propagation.
|
|
|
|
|
| Leaders from industry and government will discuss the role of reliability and maintainability in making products, systems, and processes more sustainable. Symposium attendees may submit questions in advance to the panelists or raise them from the floor.
|
|
|
|
|
| This session includes papers on a wide variety of risk related applications. From Lunar surface systems analysis, through the assessment of the fire risk in an historic hanger, and the assessment of a residential care facility. The session demonstrates the broad spectrum of applications that have been addressed with risk assessment models.
|
|
|
|
|
| The session is a combination of analytical reliability and risk modeling techniques, design-reliability cooperation, and test techniques for product reliability achievement and enhancement.
|
|
|
|
|
| This session contains several papers that explore modeling strategies and issues for complex systems. Common cause failures and dependent systems are analyzed in this session.
|
|
|
|
|
| The session compiles advanced reliability assessment techniques as applied to the specific types of modern components and systems including the lead free electronics.
|
|
|
|
|
| In this session, a variety of optimization and control strategies are presented that are applicable for modeling and analysis of repairable systems. Heuristic optimization techniques are discussed as well as techniques for measuring performance.
|
|
|
|
|
| Today's companies need to develop reliable products faster. The session will cover papers showing common product validation practices across several industries in order to achieve an expected field reliability level.
|
|
|
|
|
| This session covers multi objective optimization, Reliability Based design Optimization, Robust Design, Markov Modeling, Shock base degradation systems, Software Reliability Predictions methods in several industrial applications
|
|
|
|
|
