Abstract
RAM (Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability) parameters have b een known to be a predominant factor in inventory planning of perishab le items. However, the existing models have been developed and applied in piece-wise cases. In this paper, we discuss a system application o f RAM factors in planning space suit inventory during extra-vehicular activities (EVA) for a space mission. The model is implemented in the RAMCOST-II Simulation environment. RAMCOST-II is a logistics-based sim ulation platform which integrates RAM factors and life cycle COSTing d uring a design.
