Optimization of sudden failures elimination during design and development of electronic systems - basics of methodology

 

Dušan Korolija

 

The results of original optimization methodology for the elimination of sudden failures (ESF) of electronic systems (ES) during design and development have been presented in this paper. The optimization of ESF treats all ESF elements: reliability, repairability, corrective maintenance and spare parts supply. From the standpoint of quality of service, operational availability has been taken as a criterion and the ES life-cycle costs depending on ESF from the standpoint of expenditure. The basis of this methodology is finding the optimal ESF alternative among the generated relevant ones. The whole process of elimination has been explained here. On one of the ESs, a part of the ESF optimization has been presented.

 

Key words: electronic system, sudden failure, reliability, maintainability, repairability, corrective maintenance, optimization, optimal type of sudden failure elimination.
