Some of the benefits of ____________ are that it facilitates technology insertion and product modification, lower lifecycle costs as the market is open to a greater number of providers and supports evolutionary acquisition strategies and allows seamless integration
Open System Architecture
The __________ is the size and or amount of support assets required to adequately sustain a system at a specific readiness rate for a specified period of time when the system is deployed in its intended (wartime) environment.
Logistical Footprint
A measure of reliability is:
Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
A measure of maintainability is _______________
Mean time to Repair (MTTR)
Reliability is comprised of what two types:
- Mission Reliability
* Logistics Reliability
_____________, ___________, and ____________issues effect the design process and life cycle costs.
- Reliability
- Maintainability
- Supportability
The impact of failing to fully consider _______________ can decrease supportability and increase cost in all functional areas
RMS (Reliability, Maintainability, Supportability) issues
The goal of _______________ is the degree to which a systems design an planned logistics resources support its readiness needs and wartime utilization.
Supportability
Operable for longer periods means:
Increased readiness rate
_______________ varies by system types and military service requirements
Logistics Footprint
What are the Four components that define Downtime
- Logistics Delay when parts are not in stock
- Administrative Delay when waiting for a mechanic or paperwork
- Corrective Maintenance for repairs being performed
- ***Preventive Maintenance when routine service is being conducted
The two goals of RMS are:
- Higher operational effectiveness:
* Lower ownership costs
