System Assurance (RAMS)

ENGINEERING EXPERTISE TO HELP YOUR PROJECT ACHIEVE SYSTEM ASSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

Technological advances and increasing customer expectations have resulted in new products appearing on the market at an ever increasing pace. The products are becoming more complex and the product life cycles are getting shorter. Better, faster, cheaper are key words for companies to survive in a dynamic environment with the markets getting global and the competition more intense. To survive, manufacturers and integrators need to bring new products to the market on a continuous basis to optimize performance and cost.  In this competitive environment product reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS), as quality parameters, are key attributes.

MEETING SYSTEM ASSURANCE PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

The effective application of RAMS engineering techniques can determine whether specified performance criteria can be achieved with the current design.  RAMS analysis at the beginning of a project and continuing throughout development and deployment can identify issues to support project risk management and provide a high level of confidence.

OUR SYSTEMS ASSURANCE SERVICES

The needs for RAMS system improvements and risk mitigation are identified through RAMS assessments.  In order to demonstrate the systems assurance project requirements of the defined systems targets, detailed RAMS assessments are undertaken during the engineering iterative phases. Project defined design features such as redundancy, diversity and fail-safe design features are investigated in order to achieve system assurance targets.

Results from these RAMS engineering assessment form part of the Product specifications and design for systems and equipment. Systems Assurance Verification & Validation at integration, commissioning and certification phases of a project provide evidence of the achieved RAMS targets.
