OptimalAvailability Studio™Reliability engineering

RCM, RAM and RBD reliability engineering

Asset Availability Engineered.

OptimalAvailability Studio™ designs availability in rather than chasing it. RCM to SAE JA1011, FMECA, reliability block diagrams, Weibull and Monte Carlo RAM – one connected model from function to maintenance task to predicted availability.

What it does

Reliability engineering, in one model.

Functions, failure modes, tasks, block diagrams and life data live together, so a change propagates to the strategy and the predicted availability.

RCM to JA1011

The seven questions, failure consequences and task selection, to the SAE JA1011 standard.

  • Seven questions
  • Consequence-driven
  • Task selection

FMECA library

Reusable failure-mode libraries keyed to the taxonomy, with RPN and AIAG-VDA Action Priority.

  • Modes and effects
  • Criticality
  • Action Priority

Reliability block diagrams

Series, parallel and k-out-of-n logic to compute system reliability from its parts.

  • Series and parallel
  • k-out-of-n

Monte Carlo RAM

Simulate the system for availability, production availability and expected failures.

FAQ

Common questions

What does OptimalAvailability Studio™ do?

It runs reliability-centred maintenance, FMECA, reliability block diagrams, Weibull and Monte Carlo RAM to design the maintenance strategy and predict system availability.

Is this RCM to a standard?

Yes. RCM follows the seven questions of SAE JA1011, with JA1012 as the guide, in the RCM II tradition.

Do we need condition data to start?

No. It starts from the asset register and failure history, and gets sharper as OptimalTREND™ condition data flows back in.

What availability does it report?

Inherent, achieved and operational availability, so you see both the design ceiling and the number the plant actually lives.

How does it fit the platform?

It is the reliability engine of the Optimal® ARaaS® platform, handing on-condition tasks to OptimalTREND™ and criticality to OptimalSPARES™.
