Objectives
Outline Defence policy and procedures on:
- Task
Analysis (TA)
- Failure
Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
-
Reliability Centred Management (RCM)
- Resource
Requirements
Each Support System uses resources to maintain
the Mission System
Resources such as:
-
spares,
- Support
&Test Equipment (S&TE),
-
packaging,
- manuals
etc
- skilled
people
To understand what resources are required we need
to evaluate the Materiel System. Task Analysis, which determines
all the support tasks that are conducted against the following
subjects:
- Resource
Evaluations and Tradeoffs
- Level of
Repair Analysis
- Spares
Optimisation
- Resource
Packaging
- Rolling
up resources from the task to system level
Task Analysis identifies, determines
and documents all resource requirements for:
-
Operations
-
Maintenance
- Other
support tasks
- For the
Mission System and the relevant components of the Support System
e.g.. Simulators and training equipment
Task Analysis uses the results of:
- Failure
Modes Effects & Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
- Failure
Modes Effects Analysis (FMEA)
-
Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)
-
Functional Flow & Human System Integration
- Recorded
within the Task Inventory
To conduct a Task Analysis, the Maintenance
Policy must be set, which will include:
- What is
to be maintained
- Where it
is to be maintained
- When it
is to be maintained
- Who is
responsible for maintaining it
- How it
is to be maintained
Task Analysis may result from other processes,
such as RCM.
-
Reliability Centred Maintenance is used to determine the most
Applicable Task, and the most Effective Interval of when that task
should be performed. RCM provides the “WHAT” and
“WHEN” of the items Maintenance Policy.
