Maintainability requirements in specifications and contracts 5 Introduction This section of the series is not intended to be a complete guide on how to specify or to contract for maintainabilit
16、y. The purpose is to discuss the general scope that has to be considered when maintainability characteristics are included as requirements on the development or the acquisition of an item. Maintainability is a characteristic defining inherent properties of an item and the corresponding discipline is
17、 concerned with how well an item can be maintained and supported during its use period. Maintainability must be built into the item during the design and development phase and thus it is important that maintainability requirements be established as part of the initial item specification. The develop
18、ment of an item may be thought of as a process evolving from a need for a certain function, all the way through a step-by-step definition of that item satisfying the same need, ending up with an item ready for operational use. The process must be controlled in order to result in an item satisfying n
19、eeds at the right instant of time and at a reasonable cost. This concept is valid independent of whether a new item is actually designed or a specific need is transferred into a selection of an off-the-shelf item. The maintainability requirements in a specification may contain either quantitative or
20、 qualitative requirements or both. The methods for verifying that the requirements have been satisfied should be stated. The existence of special constraints which might affect the items maintainability characteristics should also be stated. 1) Included in this publication.BS 6548-1:1984 2 BSI 31 Oc
21、tober 2001 6 Maintainability requirements A complete statement of maintainability requirements will cover four broad areas: maintainability characteristics to be achieved by the item design; constraints to be placed on the item deployment which will affect its maintenance; maintainability programme
22、requirements to be accomplished by the supplier to assure that the delivered item has the required maintainability characteristics; provision of maintenance support planning. The maintainability specification should detail the requirements and the method to be followed to achieve them. It should als
23、o include proper references to definitions of terms used in the specification and, as needed, a list of special terms. The specification may be stated as goals or in terms of firm requirements which shall be verified in accordance with prescribed procedures 2) . Goals or requirements may be stated i
24、n either quantitative or qualitative terms. A maintainability specification typically covers the various aspects of maintainability achievement at the operational level. However, since maintainability as an item characteristic affects maintenance and support costs and may also affect maintenance tim
25、es at different maintenance levels, statements should be included in the specification covering achievements needed at all levels affected by the maintenance policy. 6.1 Maintainability characteristics 6.1.1 Quantitative maintainability requirements The most common objective is related to the time a
26、n item is in a non-operable status due to maintenance. Obviously, one would like to keep this time as short as possible. There is a wide range of requirements that could be used to this effect. The difference between them will be that they express different priorities between related item properties
27、 and that they allow for different flexibility concerning trade-offs to be made later in the programme. It is important that such factors are considered before a specific requirement is included in the specification. Active repair time is often used to specify maintainability and includes the follow
28、ing sub-elements: diagnosis (failure detection, localization of cause, etc.); technical delays (typical technical delays include setting time, cooling, interpretation and application of information, interpretation of displays, read out, etc.); restoration (disassembly, interchange, reassembly, align
29、ment, etc.); final check (testing procedures as necessary). A variety of other maintainability characteristics may be specified for the item. Table I outlines some other types of requirements associated with different classes of maintenance time and verification methods. 6.1.2 Qualitative maintainab
30、ility requirements A second achievement to look for is related to the degree to which the item concurs to a specific maintenance and support policy. Where the qualitative requirement contains numerical values, it should be qualified by a statement of the degree to which it should be met. This could
31、be done by proportions of cases or events, by confidence levels or by other probabilities. Otherwise, compliance must be judged by inspection or document review. Such policies could include statements such as the following examples: repair shall be performed by personnel of stated skill level; repai
32、r shall be performed by replacement of recoverable units; replaceable parts will be plug-in units; maintenance shall be performed according to defined and established procedures; failed part isolation shall be performed by built-in test equipment for 95 % of all cases. Table II presents a range of o
33、ther possible qualitative subjects which may be of concern. 2) In this guide a goal is considered as a desirable feature which is not mandatory whereas a requirement must be provided.BS 6548-1:1984 BSI 31 October 2001 3 6.2 Constraints When writing a specification, not only should requirements be st
34、ated on how things should be done, but in most cases there are also constraints on ways of meeting requirements which for various reasons cannot be accepted (for example, no preventive maintenance will be allowed during certain periods of time). Failure to specify constraints might give the designer
35、 the opportunity to fulfil his maintainability requirements at the expense of the user in terms of more expensive instrumentation, etc. Constraints needed in a specification depend on the nature of the maintainability requirements discussed in Sub-clause 6.1 It is advisable explicitly to examine thi
36、s need for each objective stated. Generally, such constraints will include a basic maintenance and support policy together with limits for critical resources like expensive instrumentation, high cost spares, and skill and number of personnel at each level in the organization. Some statement putting
37、requirements on the amount and the nature of preventive maintenance will often be included in the specification. Special emphasis must be given to constraining critical resources to be held on site. Emphasis must also be given to constraining periods of time, relative to expected utilization of the
38、equipment, when preventive maintenance can be carried out. Constraints may also be introduced by reference to other specifications, IEC publications or other publications. 6.3 Programme requirements There are several reasons why a specification should include requirements for a formal maintainabilit
39、y programme to be used by the supplier in his efforts to satisfy requirements: it facilitates co-ordination between several suppliers delivering items to be used in the same system; it can establish an interface between item development and the development of a maintenance and support system; the cu
40、stomer-supplier interaction defined by a programme could be looked upon as part of a verification that requirements have been fulfilled; more flexibility for trade-offs can be allowed with a formal programme requirement. Specific details on maintainability programmes are given in BS IEC 60300-3-10:2
41、001. 6.4 Engineering support planning To obtain a cost-effective system it is not sufficient to acquire an item satisfying requirements. A maintenance and support system must also be designed to fit the situation. Resources needed to maintain and support the system must be acquired. This task shall
42、as far as possible be integrated with the acquisition of the equipment to be supported. This can be achieved in two ways or by a combination of them: the supplier is given the responsibility of providing some of the resources needed to fulfil maintenance requirements, for example training, manuals,
43、test equipment, spares, etc.; the supplier is given the responsibility of providing, according to a schedule, engineering support planning data such as: failure rates and repair times; list of special tools and instrumentation; list and cost of spares; test specifications; training requirements; etc
44、. Maintenance support data are generally developed by means of maintenance engineering and support analysis.BS 6548-1:1984 4 BSI 31 October 2001 7 Verification Verification of maintainability requirements is the process of determining that the requirements imposed in the specification have been achi
45、eved and the verification process should be defined in the maintainability requirements. Methods of verification may range from the submission by the supplier of appropriate data or information to a requirement to perform a special maintainability demonstration. Section 6 of this guide discusses in
46、some detail the alternative verification methods.
