Abstract

This paper provides the results of a comparison between Commercial Aircraft and Military Aircraft Development programs, and its best practices towards Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Supportability (RAMS). This comparison forms part of a research project aimed at the development of a RAMS Driven Design methodology supported by a Strategic Value Based decision model, to allow designers and operators of complex technical systems to make upfront the right decisions - based on a value function - for the most effective implementation of RAMS in the design process, given their type of technical system, operations, and development project.
