System Reliability can be a useful tool in various situations:
- When you are constructing a new system,
you can use a System Reliability Analysis to model various options
for the construction of the system and then choose the option that
is the most reliable and cost-effective.
- For existing systems, you can use a System Reliability
Analysis to evaluate how the system could be modified to increase
reliability and production output.
Using a System Reliability Analysis, you can:
- Estimate the overall reliability and cost of a system,
including the estimated reliability for each of the included pieces of equipment
and locations.
- Use equipment and location information that is already
stored in the database or create new equipment and locations to use
in the analysis.
- Add maintenance and downtime to the system and recalculate
the effects of additions.
- View a graphical summary of the cost and reliability
predictions for a system.
- Model different scenarios to compare reliability and
cost across multiple systems.
