RamLog Information
The following information regarding RamLog are available to view or download. (Click on the headings for detail information)
RamLog is a LSAR software product developed by R&M Technologies. It provides
a practical solution to complex reliability, maintainability and logistic engineering
problems. RamLog has three main capabilities. Logistic database capability(based
on MIL-STD-1388-2B/DEF-STAN-0060), Support simulation capability and a failure recording
capability (FRACAS).
The RamLog Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis capability is based on
a System Functional and/or Physical Breakdown Structure and it provides the user
with the ability to perform a Functional/Physical Analysis. The data fields are
tailored to the requirements of MIL-STD-1388-2B/DEF-STAN-0060 with the objective
to assist during the identification of corrective maintenance tasks.
The RamLog RCM capability is based on a System Functional and/or Physical Breakdown
Structure and it provides the user with the ability to perform a RCM Analysis for
Functional/Physical failure modes. The data fields are tailored to the requirements
on MIL-STD-1388-2B/DEF-STAN-0060 with the objective to assist during the identification
of preventative maintenance tasks.
RamLog consists of three editions which can be installed and used as independent
applications or as a powerful integrated software suite. It is based on a common
system database and provides an unique opportunity to integrated, predict and measure
support/maintenance parameters
The RamLog simulation edition enables the user to simulate and solve reliability,
availability, maintainability, support and life cycle cost problems. It provides
an extremely flexible and easy-to-use modelling interface and is based on an object-based
Monte Carlo simulation engine. It extracts data from the Logistic Database and provides
the user with the unique ability to perform a simulation from the logistic database.
The user can simulate and optimise the proposed support and maintenance concepts
using facility objects and Deploy and Support Model maintenance plan objects. An
operational phase object and an Operational Model make it possible to graphically
build and simulate the operational scenario of the system or plant. Users can create
their own cost breakdown and develop a LCC Model (Life Cycle Cost). RBD (Reliability
Block Diagram) and FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) objects provide the capability to simulate
the reliability, maintainability and availability characteristics of the system
or plant.
RamLog Information Management Edition is based on the data model and field formats
of MIL-STD-1388-2B/DEF-STAN-0060. Emphasis was placed during the development on
simplicity and ease of use. RamLog provides methods to assist the user to perform
a practical and cost-effective logistic support analysis. The user can easily develop
and identify tasks and support requirements. Support analysis include FMECA (Failure
Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis), RCM (Reliability-Centred Maintenance) and
a DTA (Detail Task Analysis). Embedded drawing capabilities enable the development
of technical documentation. The user-friendliness makes it possible to perform the
analysis concurrent with the design and therefore creates the opportunity to influence
the design. The logistic database can be used as an integral part of the system
design or as a pre-requisite to effective support and maintenance management. The
logistics information which consists of a system breakdown structure (functional/hardware),
FMECA, RCM, DTA, Task Network Diagrams, Reliability Block Diagrams and Fault Tree
Diagrams are also the data depository for the support simulation capability.
RamLog Failure Data Edition (RAMLOG.NET) is a failure and repair data management
capability. It extracts data from the logistic database to generate job cards to
collect failure and repair data. The flexibility of RamLog makes it easy to change
the required job card format and to customise the Failure Recording and Corrective
Action System (FRACAS) to the specific requirements. The close loop control system
provides the ability to track serial numbers in a multi-level maintenance support
scenario. It also provides built status configuration control during maintenance.
RamLog includes additional utility programs which includes a Data Checker, Task
Documentation Editor and a RamLog Manager.
