24、I 06-1999 1 Introduction Maintainability engineering is the technical discipline directed towards enhancement of the ease of maintenance of equipment. In the preceding parts of this guide, important methods and techniques are presented which can be used to achieve this objective. Many of them are of
25、 a qualitative nature; some, however, include also quantitative aspects, especially for: allocating maintainability target values to subitems; verifying the fulfilment of quantitative maintainability requirements; evaluating maintainability data. For a complete understanding of these methods and tec
26、hniques, it is necessary to provide some mathematical explanation to enable the user to apply them more generally. 1 Scope This part of IEC706 is being issued as section9 of the guide on maintainability of equipment. It specifies techniques covering some quantitative aspects of maintainability engin
27、eering in various phases of the system life cycle. This part of IEC706 is applicable to the tasks of maintainability allocation, maintainability demonstration and maintainability data evaluation, as described in sections 5, 6 and 7, respectively, of the guide (IEC706-2 andIEC 706-3). In the informat
28、ive Annex A, Annex B and Annex C, mathematical methods and procedures for performing these tasks are presented in corresponding order. The document is intended to serve as an addendum, for specific maintainability topics, to existing statistical textbooks. 2 Normative references The following normat
29、ive documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of IEC706. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All normative documents are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this part of IEC706 are encouraged
30、to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below.

Additional terms, symbols and acronyms which are used in some of the annexes are defined
33、in Annex A. 4 Mathematical back-up material The material under this heading is presented in the order of the related sections of the guide. For each of these sections, the problems to be solved by mathematical means are indicated; the mathematical material itself is then given in an annex. 4.1 Mater
34、ial related to Section 5 Section 5 of the guide on maintainability of equipment deals with maintainability studies in the design phase. One of the tasks considered is the allocation of item maintainability requirements to subitems/lower indenture levels. This is an iterative process starting early i
35、n the item life cycle on the basis of preliminary design information, and later on updated when more detailed data and information becomes available. An example of the early type of maintainability allocation is given in Annex A of section 5; the underlying assumption in this case is that the subite
36、m maintainability requirement is inversely proportional to the subitems complexity.BS6548-6:1995 2 BSI 06-1999 Annex A presents the method recommended for the updating of the early maintainability allocation. This method should be used when additional design data become available, so that the functi
37、onal breakdown of the item can be carried down to lower subitem levels, with failure rate values allocated to all subitems. The method is applicable to all systems where the assumption of a log-normal distribution of the corrective maintenance time is satisfied, and where sufficiently detailed desig
38、n information is available, for example, in or at the end of the definition phase. For application of the method, it needs specification of a maximum allowable time for active corrective maintenance. 4.2 Material related to Section 6 In Appendix A of Section 6 of the guide, statistical test methods
39、are identified, which should be applied to verify the fulfilment of quantitative maintainability requirements. Details of these test methods are described in Annex B. They may be applied to all maintainability demonstrations, when the maintenance events are statistically independent. The test condit
40、ions should be representative of the actual conditions of use. 4.3 Material related to Section 7 In Section 7 of the guide, aspects of the analysis of maintainability related data which could beobtained from relevant sources (e.g.historical sources, development or demonstration tests, production,ass
41、embly, or field operations), and which should be used for maintainability compliance/determination testing, are briefly described. One important part of this analysis is the determination of the data distribution. In Annex C, the most frequently used method for distribution testing, the Kolmogorov-S
42、mirnov test (alsoknown as d-test), is presented. This test is applicable for alltypes of data and for all distribution forms. For other possible methods (chi-square test, graphical procedures), pertinent statistical textbooks should be consulted.BS6548-6:1995 BSI 06-1999 3 Annex A (informative) Main
