“…Considerable research has been carried out in the field of integrated modeling of supportability in different dimensions such as performance, etc. Mortin (1990) presented supportability analysis of army's mobile subscriber equipment (MSE), which determined the additional procurement of specific spare parts that could greatly increase MSE performance. Markeset and Kumar (2003) have examined various issues such as reliability, availability, maintainability and supportability, which directly or indirectly affect product support, maintenance needs and related costs on the basis of a case study conducted for a manufacturing company.…”

Purpose – Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) start providing support to their products, that helped them in beating the competition across the worldwide. The unavailability of spares and crews may also prolong the downtime of equipment, thereby affecting the systems’ performance. The spares and crews have as much effect on the systems’ performance as the design characteristics (i.e. reliability and maintainability). Thus, the OEMs required to extent the support to their products through maintenance, spares, crews, etc., so as to gain the customer satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach – The mathematical model for spares, crews and support quality has been presented in this research work. The problem has been identified from the literature perspective for mechanical systems. Findings – The model has been implemented on a real-life problem, in which the OEMs provide support to their make installed at compressed natural gas workstation in National Capital Region, India. Originality/value – The research proposed in this work will be helpful to manufacturer, customer, academician, researcher, industrialist and any concerned person, to get the exhaustive benefits from the system.

“…Daugherty (1989) has described the total program cost benefits of allowing life cycle cost sensitivity analysis to derive the conceptual design development, and how the user can more effectively motivate the contractor to optimize his design for supportability and affordability. Mortin (1990) has presented supportability analysis of army's mobile subscriber equipment (MSE) which determines the additional procurement of specific spare parts could greatly increase MSE performance. Graham and Doempke (1990) addressed the concept, implementation, and long-range goals of a supportability trend analysis and reporting system (STAR) for the National Space Transportation System (NSTS).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of RAMS engineering in industry and research. Design/methodology/approach -A range of research articles (1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005) covering RAMS engineering is discussed to provide a practical and theoretical overview of RAMS engineering in industry and research. Findings -The paper provides information about the current scenario and also about the past scenario of RAMS engineering in research and industry. Research limitations/implications -This paper reviews much of the literature on RAMS engineering. The literature is collected from major journals and conference proceedings, the period covered is from 1988 to 2005. The authors have tried to make it reasonably comprehensive, but those papers which are not included were either inadvertently overlooked or considered peripheral to this survey. In the present work the authors have only considered those articles which have included two or more aspects of RAMS. Practical implications -The paper is a very useful source of information for researchers working in the area of RAMS engineering. Originality/value -This paper offers help to researchers in understanding the current and past status of RAMS.

“…Analytical models to assess the impact of reliability and maintainability on service quality of mass-transit systems were developed based on Markov chains [37]. The Supportability of a system can be essentially considered as its ability of sustaining continuous full capability operation with reduced logistical resources [38,39].…”

The paper initiates a comprehensive conceptual framework for an integrated simulation environment for unmanned autonomous systems (UAS) that is capable of supporting the design, analysis, testing, and evaluation from a "system of systems" perspective. The paper also investigates the current state of the art of modeling and performance assessment of UAS and their components and identifies directions for future developments. All the components of a comprehensive simulation environment focused on the testing and evaluation of UAS are identified and defined through detailed analysis of current and future required capabilities and performance. The generality and completeness of the simulation environment is ensured by including all operational domains, types of agents, external systems, missions, and interactions between components. The conceptual framework for the simulation environment is formulated with flexibility, modularity, generality, and portability as key objectives. The development of the conceptual framework for the UAS simulation reveals important aspects related to the mechanisms and interactions that determine specific UAS characteristics including complexity, adaptability, synergy, and high impact of artificial and human intelligence on system performance and effectiveness.
