Abstract
For over ten years the authors of this chapter have had an interest in the application of reliability data bank technology. This interest has ranged from data bank user (for fault tree, event tree, FMEA studies, etc.); data collection supervisor (field studies for inventory and event data); database administrator (provider of database software) and data bank manager (responsible for data collection, analysis, storage and output).
