True

False

10) Which of the following is a way that reliable, maintainable, and available systems reduce life cycle cost? [Explain the relationship between R&M, availability and life cycle cost parameters]

All answers are correct.

Reliable and maintainable systems require less unscheduled/corrective maintenance.

Fewer maintenance actions require fewer spares to be stocked locally (and in the larger supply system) reducing procurement and carrying costs.

Fewer maintenance actions should translate into reduced maintainability factors, e.g., maintenance man-hours per operating hour, which may translate into fewer personnel to maintain the system (i.e., reduced manpower costs)
