Lifecycle management
Reliability and Availability
Reliability and availability are key performance characteristics of technical products and systems. Our customers depend on their systems operating reliably throughout their entire service life and delivering high availability under real operating conditions. Nevertheless, even with careful design, qualification and planned maintenance intervals, deviations can occur – for example due to changes in usage profiles, unexpected loads or interacting degradation processes.
IABG supports manufacturers and operators in identifying and systematically assessing these interdependencies at an early stage. By taking a holistic view across development, qualification and operation, a sound understanding of system behaviour, loading conditions and failure mechanisms is established. On this basis, reliability can be improved in a targeted manner, risks can be made transparent, and appropriate measures can be derived to sustainably enhance availability and cost efficiency.
High availability results from the interaction between robust system design and a transparent understanding of the actual system condition. Continuous evaluation of operational and condition data is essential to identify degradation processes, assess developments and derive reliable forecasts. This enables maintenance and operational strategies to be aligned proactively, reduces unplanned failures and ensures system performance throughout the entire life cycle.
Your benefits over the entire life cycle
Improving reliability and availability provides the foundation for safe, cost-effective and predictable system operation. By developing a sound understanding of system behaviour, failure mechanisms and operational influences, operators and manufacturers gain a robust bases for decision-making across the entire life cycle. IABG combines engineering analysis with practical experience from complex and safety-critical applications to increase transparency of risks, identify optimisation potential and enable sustainable improvements in availability and cost efficiency.
Benefits for operators
Understanding system behaviour in depth
Transparency regarding service life, loading conditions and failure causes enables targeted measures to extend service life and improve reliability.Assessing the condition and utilisation of the fleet
Knowledge of the actual condition of systems, subsystems and components provides a robust basis for diagnosis, prediction and future operational decisions.Reducing downtime and costs
Well-planned maintenance measures and reliable spare parts forecasting minimise unplanned downtime and avoid costly repairs, thereby increasing availability.Ensuring long-term operational efficiency
Tailored maintenance and operational strategies ensure reliable and cost-effective system operation throughout the entire service life.
Benefits for manufacturers and OEM
Enhancing reliability and customer satisfaction
High availability and transparent, verifiable performance increase operator and user satisfaction and strengthen market acceptance.Gaining insights for product optimisation
Data and experience from real operation provide valuable input for further development, design and future product generations.Supporting design and qualification decisions
Robust analysis of system behaviour and loading conditions enables realistic evaluation of design, test strategies and qualification concepts.Systematically assessing operational risks
Transparency regarding real usage, loading conditions and degradation processes enables early identification of weaknesses and supports the reduction of warranty and failure risks.
Connectable services in lifecycle management
The analysis and improvement of reliability and availability is closely linked to other lifecycle management services. Based on the knowledge gained, IABG supports its customers in deriving and implementing further measures throughout the entire lifecycle.
This includes, in particular, the planning and optimization of maintenance measures, the evaluation of economic efficiency and lifecycle costs as well as the design of efficient logistics concepts and processes. This creates an integrated basis for decision-making that brings technical performance, availability and costs into sustainable harmony.
