A comparison of reliability methods and the remm process

Abstract

& CONCLUSIONSThis paper describes conventional methods of reliability prediction and their uses. It also describes the REMM process and the REMM statistical model. Examples of using the REMM process are shown from 4 aerospace companies and a comparison made between the REMM process and conventional reliability approaches. The paper concludes by listing the advantages and disadvantages of using the REMM process as compared to conventional reliability methods.

Practical evaluation of the remm process

“…[8], [9] The single evaluation of the REMM process at WHL was considered successful as it demonstrated that the process was applicable to mechanical components and gave meaningful results. It was not possible to evaluate the process when applied to an integration project such as the installation of a With the completion of the REMM programme, WHL are reviewing how and where to use the process within our business.…”

“…Rolls-Royce and Strathclyde University have adapted the REMM methodology to suit the needs of a R-R programme that is developing a new electronic unit which has no similarity in terms of previous service data and utilises a design architecture with comparatively new electronic technology [9], [10].…”
