Abstract :
This paper will present a closed loop systems engineering methodology for integrating multi-disciplined, cross-functional activities (Reliability & Maintainability, Embedded Test, Supportability Engineering, System Safety, etc.), which are often ldquostove-pipedrdquo in order to ensure the total readiness capability of a system. This process and methodology is called the Maintainability Readiness Assessment (MRA).
