Introduction
The prediction of the expected number of hours that a system or device will be in an inoperative or 'down state' while it is undergoing maintenance is of vital importance to the user because of the adverse affect that expressive downtime has on a mission success. Therefore, once the operational requirements of a system are fixed, it is imperative that a technique be utilized to predict its maintainability in quantitative terms as early as possible during the design phase. This prediction should be updated continuously as the design progresses to assure a high probability of compliance with specified requirements.
