8 Maintainability Tools and Specific Maintainability Design-Related Considerations
8.1 Introduction
Over the years, many methods and techniques have been developed for performing various types of reliability and quality analyses. Some of these methods and techniques have been successfully used in the area of maintainability as well. These methods and techniques include failure modes, effects, and criticality analysis; cause and effect diagram; total quality management (TQM); and fault tree analysis (FTA).
Past experiences over the years clearly indicate that an effective engineering design (i.e., cost-effective and supportable design) takes into account the maintainability considerations that arise during the equipment ...
