3 Credits This course examines the considerations in developing systems that meet specified system performance requirements while also achieving necessary levels of reliability, maintainability, and supportability consistent with the operational requirements. In addition, consideration is given to issues associated with producibility and disposability. Mathematical methods associated with reliability, maintainability, and supportability are discussed and applied. Liberal use of examples is incorporated to illustrate the interactions and relationships of these metrics, and how they are used to measure and trade off among these elements. The intent is to sensitize the systems engineer to the need for technical, schedule, and cost trade-offs to achieve desired yet safe and affordable system performance. Prerequisite: SYS 301.
