Objective of maintainability
Design and develop systems/equipment which can be maintained
in the least time, at the least cost, and with a minimum expenditure of support resources, without adversely affecting the item performance or safety characteristics
•Maintainability greatly influences reliability and availability of a system or subsystem.
•Maintainability must be addressed early in the design stage to
prevent or reduce failure or down times of the system.

Maintenance and Design
• The system’s design determines its requirements for maintenance
– Reliability (How often maintenance)
– Configuration (How much time for access)
– Built in Test (Fault Isolation Time)
– Subassembly life span (Inspection/forced replacement)
– Adjustment/alignment requirements (Inspection)
– Capacity/fill rate (Servicing)
– Corrosion susceptibility (Inspection/repair)

Maintainability Definitions
• Maintainability is an inherent design characteristic of a system or product and it pertains to the ease, accuracy, safety, and economy in the performance of maintenance actions.
• Maintainability is the probability that a failed system will be restored to specified performance within a stated period of time when maintained under specified conditions.

Maintainability Definitions continued
• Maintainability is a characteristic of an item, expressed by the probability that preventive maintenance (serviceability) or repair (repairability) of the item will be performed within a stated time interval by given procedures and resources (number and skill level of the personnel, spare parts, test facilities, etc.).
• Maintainability is the ability of an item to be retained in, or restored to, a specified condition when maintenance is performed by people having specified skill levels, using prescribed procedures and resources.

• Maintainability analysis: The sequential development and review of data – concurrent with, or preceding design development – to aid in describing the optimum design characteristics of the equipment or system. The elements considered in the review are (1) quantitative requirements, (2) support resources, (3) cost, (4) operational objectives, and (5) safety. The results of the review are translated into criteria which are applied to the design process.
• Maintainability engineering: An organization that is associated with the functions of maintenance engineering, maintainability-design liaison, systems analysis, design services, support documentation, systems planning, safety engineering, and systems integration and test.

Maintenance Definitions
• Maintenance:– All actions necessary for retaining an item in, or restoring it to, a
serviceable condition– Includes servicing, repair, modification, overhaul, inspection, and
condition verification
• Maintenance categories:1. Preventive Maintenance
Maintenance performed to retain an item in satisfactory operational condition by providing system inspection, detection and prevention of incipient failures, overhaul, lubrication, calibration, etc
Prescribe procedures to reduce the probability of failure or degradation
2. Corrective MaintenanceInitiated after fault detectionTo Regain state of system for performing required function

Corrective Maintenance Task Definitions
• Maintenance, corrective: That maintenance performed to restore an item to satisfactory condition after a malfunction has caused degradation of the item below the specified performance. The major tasks associated with corrective maintenance are:
Preparation – gathering tools; obtaining, setting up, and calibration maintenance aids; warming up equipment; etc.
Localization – determining the location of a failure to the extent possible without using accessory support equipment.
Stracener_EMIS 7305/5305_Spr08_03.19.08
15
• Disassembly – equipment disassembly to the extent necessary to gain access to the item that is to be replaced.
• Interchange – removing the defective item and installing the replacement.
• Reassembly – closing and reassembly of the equipment after the replacement has been made.
• Alignment – performing any alignment, minimum tests, and/or adjustment made necessary by the repair action.
• Verification checkout – performing the minimum checks or tests required to verify that the equipment has been restored to satisfactory performance.

FD/FI/FA
• Fault detection (FD)– % of faults detected before noticeable impairment of system
performance occurs– Time from fault occurrence to detection
• Fault Isolation (FI)– % of detected faults isolated to single item– % of detected faults isolated to group of items
• False Alarm (FA)– % of detected faults that can not be confirmed in system
maintenanceAKA CND (can not duplicate)
– % isolated faults that can not be confirmed in repair of item removed from systemAKA RTOK (retest okay)

Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA)
• will detail the resources required to implement effective corrective and preventative maintenance tasks for a system and/ or equipment
• a detailed analysis performed for each of the corrective and preventative maintenance tasks (earlier identified in the LSA process)
• Defines support resources that will be required to conduct each of the maintenance tasks.
• Determines task intervals and task elapsed times.
• Level of Repair Analysis (LORA), establishes at which level (or line) of maintenance that a task will be performed.

• support resources determined and detailed for each corrective and preventative maintenance task – Support Equipment; Standard and special; – Tools; Standard and special; – Personnel; – Facilities; – Storage and packaging; – Transportation consideration;
• provides critical input to support and address the needs other ILS elements, such as training and technical publications development. Technical publications utilize data such as the detailed task description, which also provide input for the development of maintenance training courses and support material.

• Mean Time Between Maintenance (MTBM): included both preventive and corrective maintenance requirements. Relative to corrective maintenance, MTBM considers primary (random) failures, secondary (dependent) failures, quality and manufacturing defects, operator- and maintenance-induced failures, and others.
• Mean Time Between Replacements (MTBR): Mean time between equipment item replacements for preventive- and corrective-maintenance purposes. This factor forms the basis for spare/repair-parts determination. It should be noted that a maintenance action (represented by the MTBM factor) does not always result in an item replacement.
Maintainability Metric Definitions
Stracener_EMIS 7305/5305_Spr08_03.19.08
24
• Maintenance downtime: That portion of downtime which can be attributed to preventive- and corrective-maintenance functions. Maintenance downtime may be expressed in a measure of central tendency (arithmetic mean, geometric mean, median, and mode). It may also be expressed in terms of a maximum value relative to a percentile point of distribution of downtime. Symbols of maintenance downtime are:
• Mct – Mean active corrective-maintenance time (arithmetic mean). Equal to MTTR.
• Mpt – Mean active preventive-maintenance time (arithmetic mean).
Maintainability Definitions continued
Stracener_EMIS 7305/5305_Spr08_03.19.08
25
• M – mean maintenance time (function of Mct and Mpt).
• MTTR – Mean time to repair. Equal to Mct.
• MDT – Maintenance downtime (total time during which an equipment item is not in condition to perform its intended function). MDT includes logistics time and waiting or administrative time.
• Mct – Mean active corrective maintenance time. Equal to ERT
Maintainability Definitions continued

• ERT – Equipment active repair time. Equal to Mct.
• Mpt – Median active preventive-maintenance time.
• MTTRg – Geometric mean time to repair.
• Mmax – maximum active corrective maintenance time (95% confidence level).
• Logistics or Supply Time – That portion of nonactive maintenance time during which maintenance is delayed solely because a needed item is not immediately available.
• Wait or Administrative Time – That portion of nonactive maintenance time that is not included in logistics or supply time.

• Maintenance indices: Primary expressions of quantitative measurements of equipment-maintenance characteristics.
MMH/OH – Maintenance man-hours per equipment or item operating hour.
MMM/OH – Maintenance man-minutes per equipment or item operating hour.
Cost/OH – Maintenance cost per equipment or item operating hour.
Others are MTBM, MDT, and achieved availability.
