To provide a means to insure effective implementation of reliability a
nd maintainability (R&M) programs, using Visual Basic on Windows, a so
ftware program is developed that uses data on performance of the equip
ment and generates statistics on the reliability and maintainability o
f the machinery. The software is designed for the operators to enter t
he data, to be used by the design engineers and reliability engineers,
to study the system's performance. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
