Abstract

Abstract: The paper deals with an overview of RAMS strategies for complex systems in various process industries. This paper has reviewed a wide range of research articles and conference proceedings. These research publications dealt with the effect of failure and repair rates of subsystems on overall system performance. A comprehensive literature review regarding RAMS tactics has been conducted for twenty-five years. RAMS strategies address reliability, availability, maintenance and safety issues concerning industrial systems. These strategies aim to identify the failure-prone subsystems of industrial systems, which finally decide about the criticality of the subsystems and eventually improve the overall availability of the system by adopting the proper RAMS procedures.

Key words: reliability, availability, maintainability, safety, failure rate, repair rate
