RGA: Reliability Growth Analysis and Repairable System Analysis Software Tool
Reliability growth and repairable system analysis
ReliaSoft's
RGA is a powerful software tool that allows you to apply reliability
growth models to analyze data from both developmental testing and fielded
repairable systems. In the development stage, the software allows you
to quantify the reliability growth achieved with each successive design
prototype and also provides advanced methods for reliability growth
projections, planning and management. For systems operating in the field,
RGA allows you to calculate optimum overhaul times and other results
without the detailed data sets that normally would be required for repairable
system analysis.
The development of RGA was a joint effort between ReliaSoft Corporation
and
Dr. Larry
Crow, the leading authority in the field of reliability growth analysis,
along with key development partners in government and industry. This
collaboration has resulted in an application-oriented software package
with all of the major reliability growth models, plus formulations that
are not available anywhere else.
Software Features
RGA includes full support for traditional reliability growth analysis using the applicable models — Crow-AMSAA (NHPP), Duane, Gompertz, Modified Gompertz, Lloyd-Lipow or Logistic — for a variety of developmental data types — time-to-failure, discrete (success/failure) and reliability data. In addition, the software provides exclusive support for innovative approaches that facilitate reliability growth projections, reliability growth program planning and multi-phase reliability growth analysis. RGA helps to create operational test plans that effectively balance all of the mission profiles that need to be tested to make sure the testing yields data appropriate for reliability growth analysis. The software also provides opportunities for fielded repairable system analysis, including a Design of Reliability Test (DRT) utility and a method for analyzing the system's reliability behavior over time in order to calculate optimum overhaul times and other metrics of interest.

Application Examples
Some of the many useful applications include the ability to:
- Quantify reliability growth achieved with each successive design prototype.
- Determine the feasibility of achieving reliability goals with a given test/fix strategy.
- Calculate optimum overhaul times and other results for fielded repairable systems without the detailed data sets that would normally be required for repairable system analysis.
