RAM (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability)

Reliability, Availability, Maintainability

Engineering framework for evaluating how reliably a system works, how often it is available and how quickly it can be restored.

Examples

  1. 01During the design of a new automated warehouse, a RAM study predicts 97.5 % availability with one crane per aisle.
  2. 02Before the maintenance strategy is changed, RAM data from the first year is compared with the original study.
  3. 03The RAM study supports buying a second lift for the critical vertical conveyor, since it has no redundancy.
