Abstract :
A Reliability, Maintainability, and Availability (RMA) analysis team, supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Ground Systems Development and Operations (GSDO) Program, developed an RMA allocation and analysis process utilizing standard Reliability and Maintainability (R&M) allocation techniques, along with system-based knowledge, to ensure the GSDO subsystems (SS) achieve the required launch availability goal. In this paper, we will present an effective way to allocate RMA requirements that are Specific, Measureable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound (SMART) [1].
