  1. Allocating Reliability Planning for the Worst!

  2. Effect • Overall System Reliability goes down as you add more components to the system. • Typically the number of components is high • That means you have to have more reliability in each component. • If you add another component for redundancy in parallel you increase reliability but reduce your rate of return. • Don’t bank all your efforts on redundancy to improve reliability.

  3. How to allocate reliability • Overall reliability specified by customer. • Partition system into subsystems. • Assign known reliabilities. • Assign weights to unknown components based on complexity. • Allocate Reliability to unknowns • Use Parallel and serial models to check overall system reliability • Iterate • Margins

  4. Assigning known reliabilities in your robot • Ask the manufacturer the reliability of their part. • Direct field testing. • Engineering Estimates

  5. Assign weights to unknown components based on complexity

  6. Redundancy • Improves Reliability • Adds weight, space, $, power • Types • Operating redundancy (all systems in parallel fully operational all the time) • Standby Redundancy

  7. Standby Redundancy A B

  8. Standby Redundancy • Operating Period = 200 hours • Lamda = .002 failures per hour • Switch reliability = 1 (can’t fail) • Operational Reliability = Rop • Rop = 1 – (1 - e^(-lamda * t))(1 – e^(lamda * t)) = .8913

  9. Availability (inherent) • MCT = Mean Corrective Time MTBF A(i) = MTBF + MCT

  10. Availability (Achieved) • MCT = Mean Corrective Time • MTBM = Mean Time Between Maintenance • MPT = Mean Preventative Time MTBM A(a) = MTBM + MCT + MPT

  11. Availability (Operational) • MCT = Mean Corrective Time • MTBM = Mean Time Between Maintenance • MPT = Mean Preventative Time • AD = Administrative Delays • LD = Logistic Delays MTBM A(o) = MTBM + MCT + MPT +AD + LD

  12. Maintainability • concerns of ease, accuracy, safety, and economy in the performance of maintenance functions. • Design parameters • Maintenance : series of actions required to retain or restore a system to an effective operating state.

  13. Types of maintenance • Preventative: scheduled actions • Corrective: unscheduled

  14. Measures • Deals with time • Deals with labor hours
