Abstract :
It is argued that database development is a critical part of the design of any industrial reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) program. A time-tested process for assembling a sound RAM database is outlined. Its applicability to electrical systems is obvious, but it can also be used successfully in improving the reliability of the various other types of systems in an industrial facility, commercial building, or health care facility
