Lecture 1 Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS) are the most important performance characteristics of any product, system or service. The RAMS characteristics do not only influence the usability of the product but also the user satisfaction and the operational costs. These characteristics have to be designed into the product and their realisation carefully monitored during the manufacturing, integration and installation phases. This lecture is an introduction into the RAMS philosophy, applied to a scientific technical project from the identification of the needs and the definition of the corresponding requirements through their implementation in the design/development phases and the compliance demonstrations during all project phases. The typical managerial and technical tasks are defined and explained also with respect to the overall project execution and verification process.
