RAM refers to the reliability (The probability that an item will perform a required function for a stated period of time),availability(The proportion of time that an item is capable of operating to specification within a large time interval),maintanability(The probability that a failed product will be restored to operational effectiveness within a given period of time when the repair action is performed in accordance with prescribed procedures).
Intellex Consulting Services (UK) Ltd ensures that all RAM activities are strictly practiced as per the CENELEC standards to ensure world-class quality .
To ensure that the assets delivered into the railway do perform as designed reliably which ensure safety to passengers/staff as well as provide economical returns for the investment.The main objective of RAM is to reduce the overall lifecycle cost(that includes maintenance cost,operation cost,production cost etc.) and increase the system productivity.
Some key deliverables are:
- RAM Analysis Report: This report documents the RAM analysis carried out on the proposed design of the subsystem for the project. RAM Analysis and Prediction Report giving predictions of system reliability and maintainability based on data collected.
- Life Cycle Cost Analysis: LCC model is basically an accounting structure that contains mathematical expressions for the estimation of cost associated with each of the cost elements constituting the LCC
- RAM Demonstration Plan: The RAM Demonstration Plan provides a systematic analysis to demonstrate that sub system can fulfil the required Contractual targets for Reliability, Availability and Maintainability. The purpose of this RAM Demonstration Plan is to provide planning details, management and procedures to be implemented during the RAM demonstration.
- FMECA: Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) considers how parts of a system might fail (the Failure Modes) and investigates how such failures will impact on system performance (the Effects). FMECA is a method which involves quantitative failure analysis. The FMECA involves creating a series of linkages between potential failures (Failure Modes), the impact on the mission (Effects) and the causes of the failure (Causes and Mechanisms)
- RAM Allocation Report: RAM Allocation report contains information about allocation of RAMS requirement specification to subsystems and/or components
- RAM Demonstration Report: In RAM Demonstration report all the outcomes of RAM Demonstration are described.
