Abstract
This method was developed to convert “raw” maintainability data (as collected in the field or derived by the analyst) into system characteristics which can be used in subsequent effectiveness models or directly to compare the recoverability of alternate systems.
Maintainability characteristics of system elements can be described in terms of the probability of maintenance after an operating time interval and the mean and variance of its repair time. The report derives the equations to compute system downtime and repair time distribution from this data in a deterministic manner. The computation has been mechanized for use on direct access computing equipment.
