Abstract :
A technique is presented for tracking the system availability growth (AG) during development and testing so that decisions regarding proposed changes can be properly evaluated. In order to manage the AG processes, the comparative FMECA (COFMECA) technique is introduced. It is crucial that the availability be integrated into the general process of system improvement, especially when resources and ideas for the effective implementation of programs such as R&M 2000 are sought
