Reliability growth analysis can be conducted using different data types. This chapter explores and examines the possible data schemes and outlines the available models for each data type. The data types for developmental testing (traditional reliability growth analysis) will be discussed first. Then we will discuss the data types that support the use of RGA models for analyzing fielded systems (either for repairable systems analysis or fleet data analysis).

Reliability growth analysis can be conducted using different data types. This chapter explores and examines the possible data schemes and outlines the available models for each data type. The data types for developmental testing (traditional reliability growth analysis) will be discussed first. Then we will discuss the data types that support the use of RGA models for analyzing fielded systems (either for repairable systems analysis or fleet data analysis).

Developmental Testing Data Types

Template loop detected: Template:Time-to-failure data

Template loop detected: Template:Discrete data

Template loop detected: Template:Multi-phase data

Template loop detected: Template:Reliability data

Fielded Systems


Fielded systems are systems that are used by customers in the field and for which failure information is not derived from an in-house test. This type of data is analogous to warranty data. The data types available for fielded systems data entry are:

  • Repairable Systems


  • Fleet

Repairable Systems

Repairable Systems data is identical in format to the Multiple Systems (Concurrent Operating Times) data. It also can be entered in the normal or advanced view. Figure Repair illustrates a sample data set. In repairable systems, the purpose of the analysis is not to evaluate reliability growth but rather to obtain reliability estimates for the system, including expected number of failures, reliability at a given time, and so forth.

Models for Repairable Systems Data

The following models can be used to analyze repairable systems data. Models and examples using different data types are discussed in Chapter 13.

1) Power Law
2) Crow Extended

Fleet Data

This data type is used to analyze the entire population (fleet). The data entry for this data type is similar to the data entry for repairable systems; however, the overall data analysis is again different. In repairable systems, the reliability of a single system can be tracked and quantified, whereas in a fleet analysis, data from the entire fleet as a whole is analyzed. The figure below presents an example of data entered for fleet analysis. Models for Fleet Data

The following models can be used to analyze fleet data. Models and examples using different data types are discussed in later chapters.

  • Crow-AMSAA (NHPP)
  • Crow Extended
