Abstract

An engineering reliability and maintainability review (ER&MR) is a methodical disassembly, visual inspection, and physical examination of a production unit of airborne equipment by a team of reviewers from reliability, maintainability, and other technical disciplines. Established at Douglas Aircraft for the DC-10 program and recently upgraded, ER&MR facilitates detection of unit design and assembly flaws and deficiencies that traditional design reviews and inspections may fail to discover. ER&MR also verifies required circuit separation and segregation in the unit and incorporation of unit design changes authorized by the critical design review team
