Systems Thinking Part 3: The Systems Lifecycle
Table of Contents The Core Idea: Operational Effectiveness Is a Lifecycle Property Design Cause and Operational Effect The Operational Effectiveness Model The Operational Concept Drives the Maintenance Concept Systems and Supportability Engineering Process FMECA: Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis Fault Tree Analysis Maintenance Task Analysis Lifecycle Cost, Total Cost of Ownership, and Profitability Lifecycle Monitoring From Lifecycle Evidence to Reliability Decisions Putting It All Together What I want to do here is share some notes from a course on systems lifecycle engineering. This should be treated as a learning guide to reliability, maintainability, supportability, durability, availability, FMECA, fault trees, maintenance task analysis, and lifecycle support planning. The Core Idea: Operational Effectiveness Is a Lifecycle Property A system is not successful simply because it performs well in a controlled test or meets a narrow set of technical sp...
