Enhancing Affordability with RMA: Tools, Metrics, & Best Practices in Systems Acquisition

This paper discusses the importance of Reliability, Maintainability, and Availability (RMA) in systems acquisition. It covers new policies, investment benefits, best practices, cost calculations, analysis tools, and research needs. It explores the link between RMA engineering and affordability, measurement methods for operational suitability, and assessing RMA-related Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) and Key System Attributes (KSAs) in development. The text also delves into valuation techniques and models, access to operations databases, and data collection improvement methods. Is the connection between RMA and affordability as strong as believed by stakeholders? Find out in this comprehensive guide.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Reliability Engineering, Trade spaces, and Affordability • Consideration of RMA in Systems Acquisition is Required by Law • New Policies Have Been Created • Investment in RMA Pays Off • Reliability Best Practices Have Been Established • Methods for Calculating Operation and Sustainment Costs Have Been Created • Tools for Reliability Analysis, Evaluation, and Tracking Exist • And advanced tools are being developed • So What’s the Problem?

  2. Example of Improving Affordability and Performance through Reliability-Related Tradeoff Studies

  3. Research Needs • Valuation techniques to link between RMA engineering to affordability • Methods of measurement and accounting of operational suitability, effectiveness, and sustainment engineering for acquisition managers • Is the link really as strong as congress, the GAO, and RMA advocates believe? • Methods to assess the RMA-related KPPs and KSAs during development • Metrics • Models • Methods to identify operations and sustainment costs • Access and analysis of operations and maintenance databases • Methods to improve data recording and collection
