Case Study Analysis for Prelim

 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 CASE EVALUATION (Outline the sections of the case study that you are focusing
on)

 QUESTIONS FOR THE CASE STUDY.
1. Discuss why is there a misperception of maintainability as the ability to reach a
component to perform the required maintenance task.
2. What should be the ideal maintenance policy for components with Weibull time to
removal distribution with shape parameter greater than 1, and why? Note that the
random variable here is removal time rather than failure time. Elaborate on your
answer.
3. Discuss why the pressure transmitter has the highest estimated number of
unscheduled tasks per year.
4. When a component is identified as NFF, what do you think should be done?
5. Discuss why Figure 17.4 (Aircraft Waiting Time vs. Soft Life and MISL) and Figure
17.5 (Module recoveries vs. Soft Life and MISL) are similar and show their similarity
using the graph provided in the case study.
6. In your own words, describe the relationship of Mean time between shop visits and a
number of engine shop visits to soft life and MISL.
7. Do you think that the shop visit rates accurately reflect the engine's true reliability?
Why or why not? Provide evidence to support your answer.
8. In your own opinion, does the airline company being studied in the case study apply
the concept of RCM in its maintenance policies? Why or why not? Discuss your
answer.
