Reliability, Maintainability & Availability (RMA) Analysis

ALE clients realize increased customer satisfaction and reduced cost by effectively assessing and improving the performance of their products in the fields of Reliability, Maintainability, and Availability (RMA). Throughout our 24 year history, we have provided valuable insights to our clients so that they can design reliable, easily maintained products with low ownership cost. We have developed the methods and processes necessary to make this a desired part of every designer's tool kit.

ALE's technical and analytical expertise provides meaningful RMA analyses that are tailored for a wide variety of products in both government and commercial industries. Our RMA analyses have continually helped our customers develop products that possess increased capability while simultaneously achieving lower supportability costs. We do this by contributing significant design insights throughout the life of programs.

The opportunity for improvements to designing the system and the support system are greatest early in design where early analysis identifies RMA drivers and potential issues. Partnering with the design team throughout product development provides us the opportunity to influence the design of system products and their subsequent support systems. The influence provided to design provides the cost-effective approach your company desires to achieve a reliable, easily supportable design solution.

ALE's tool set includes reliability prediction techniques for electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical equipment as well as the latest failure mode analysis techniques. Our maintenance analysis methods and procedures have been developed to allow for efficient integration with Reliability, Human Factors, and Logistics requirements. This ensures the development of optimal maintenance resources that compliment the product design and improve product performance. ALE's approach to RMA analysis concentrates on ensuring the fundamental product or process performance requirements are achieved, while meeting customer expectations and minimizing ownership cost.
