Aplicação do crescimento da confiabilidade para análise de dados de campo

Abstract

This study aims to propose the application of the Reliability Growth methodology using a software for repairable systems in the field through the collection of the component data, with the objective of analyzing the current performance and projecting the future in order to compare with the average method (MTBF) which is usually applied. The motivation for using this methodology was that it is proven as a model with more conditions to make decisions regarding the performance of a repairable component in the field. This research uses a case study, is qualitative and generates knowledge for the practical application, directed to the solution of specific problems. The results allow the user to draw the necessary conclusions comparing to what is currently done. The proposed objective was achieved by applying the Reliability Growth methodology due to the quality and precision of the presented values, resulting in a better understanding of the product, for example: its current and future performance, the influences of its failure modes, the project reanalysis related to accomplishment of reliability requirements and an accurate inventory forecast.
