ReliaSoft's RGA - Case Studies
Software for Repairable System
and Reliability Growth Analysis

We have compiled some case studies to demonstrate the types of analyses that you will be able to perform with ReliaSoft's RGA.

For the actual case studies, the data and/or exact test method that were used may have been modified in cases where the actual information was deemed to be confidential.

	Case Study 1: Simple MTBF Determination
This example looks at MTBF determination using system failure data that has been collected on five helicopters during the final test phase. Review Study...

	Case Study 2: Developmental Testing (Simple One-Shot Item)
This example examines the analysis of a "one-shot" system undergoing reliability growth development testing during which different tests are performed on different design configurations. Review Study...

	Case Study 3: Developmental Testing with Corrective Actions Implemented During the Test and Delayed Fixes
This case study is based on the paper An Extended Reliability Growth Model For Managing And Accessing Corrective Actions by Dr. Larry Crow, presented at the 2004 RAMS. It examines developmental testing on a product during which identified failures are corrected, ignored or delayed. Review Study...

	Case Study 4: Transmission Repair Data and Warranty Prediction
This case study is based on the data given in the article Graphical Analysis of Repair Data by Dr. Wayne Nelson, as published in the Reliability Edge. It uses automatic transmission repair data to estimate the number of warranty claims for a 36,000 mile warranty policy for an estimated fleet of 35,000 vehicles. Review Study...
