Abstract

This paper presents an innovative method that enables a company to determine its vital activities in reliability program for multi-state system (MSS). The method is based on a house of reliability for translating the system’s failure costs into relative importance of corresponding activities listed in the reliability program. A Mean Square Error (MSE) criterion supports the selection of vital reliability program activities. It divides a set of activities in reliability program into two groups: vital few (activities in reliability program for MSS) and trivial many. The partition minimizes the overall MSE and so, delineates two homogeneous groups. A case study is presented to illustrate the application of the developed methodology in a warfare system (a tank). The vital reliability program activities—treatment routine and spare parts storage were found to be the best activities for reducing the costs of the tank’s failures.
