Abstract
ABSTRACTMilitary vehicles are required to have high leveis of reliability in order to be fully effective, rapidly deployable, and affordable. Reliability growth programmes are typically used to achieve the desired levels of reliability. A Reliability Growth Test (RGT) is a well-structured process of finding reliability problems by testing, incorporating corrective actions resulting in the elimination of systematic failure modes leading to reliability growth.A review of Ministry of Defence (MoD) vehicle reliability growth programmes [1] concluded that only one of the five vehicle programmes examined, achieved their reliability targets as planned. This paper investigates the reasons for the failings and presents an approach which aims to mitigate the Reliability and Maintainability (R&M) programme risks, which was developed as part of an MSc dissertation entitled “Risk Management of a Reliability Growth Programme” [2].
