34 Survey 2005 Special Maintenance Applications Software A major problem facing organizations today is there ability to record, analyze and control a variety of similar failures at various sites. The Failure Reporting Analysis and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) is the latest installment from English based software leader Isograph. Isograph have developed the FRACAS+ tool to compliment its current r e l i a b i l i t y, availability and maintainability analysis software suite. The recording of equipment or system failure is broken down by site and functional location in a hierarchical structure that can be easily understood. Beneath this, the hierarchical tree can be constructed to any level of complexity. Failure and repair reports are assigned to a particular piece of equipment with its movements to other locations recorded. Corrective Actions and Failure modes, along with personnel data details can then be assigned to each specific part of the failure report. The advantage of FRACAS over other systems is that as field failure and other maintenance data is entered in to the FRACAS system the data is automatically analyzed. The analyzed FRACAS data may then be used to optimize planned maintenance schedules, inspections and design changes using Isograph’s powerful availability simulation, reliability centered maintenance and Weibull software. To learn more about how FRACAS can help your business visit www.reliability.com.au Full working demonstration versions and online demonstrations can be arranged through our website. ARMS Hazard and Operability Study (Hazop) One of the commonly used techniques in the preliminary phase of a safety study is a hazard and operability study. Hazop+ provides a familiar visual environment in which to design and use the study and action forms that are the basis for entering Hazop information. Software Details - Functionality: Hazop+ is an interface that allows the user to customize the HAZOP study, and enter and store study information in a clean and conveinient way. When using HAZOP+ all information is stored in an Access compatible database from where it can be filtered, sorted and displayed. Hazop+ speeds up the process of recording and managing the potentially large amounts of information. Hazop+ also offers a powerful report generator for the creation and printing of professional quality reports. When you have set up the Hazop study, you can use Hazop+ in the study itself. Usually one of the members of the study, will take charge of recording the Hazop information in the Hazop+ forms. The easy to use input facilities will increase this members productivity and speed up the overall study.

Software Details - Functionality: The IsoLib Parts Libraries contain many thousands of modern electronic and non-electronic parts and provide a comprehensive source of failure data for users of Isograph’s reliability products. The libraries have been constructed by electronic and reliability engineers from manufacturers’ datasheets and other sources, or taken directly from existing public sources. IsoLib's ever-growing Electronic Parts <strong>Library</strong> currently contains many thousands of parts and can be imported directly into other Isograph analysis tools to produce system failure data quickly. IsoLib also contains two existing non-electronic libraries: the NPRD-95 library for mechanical component failure data and the IAEA-TECDOC-508 library for component reliability data. Again, the data can be swiftly imported into other Isograph tools. The libraries are regularly upgraded with new parts. New library versions are made available to users with a library maintenance contract at regular intervals. Users with a library maintenance contract may also request Isograph to add specific parts to the library if the part is not currently defined. A limited number of requested parts are added per annum to the libraries at no extra charge. To find out more about the Isolib Parts Libraries contact ARMS Reliability Engineers on +61 3 5255 5357 or visit www.reliability.com.au ARMS IsoLib Project Management The IsoLib Project Management program is a powerful tool that can be used to manage all the project files associated with Isograph software. Software Details - Functionality: The IsoLib Project Management program is a powerful tool that can be used to manage all the project files associated with Isograph software. It provides full project control and historical tracking to those using the software in a corporate or enterprise situation. The product maintains the project files from all Isograph products and stores them in a SQL Server database. The IsoLib Project Management program controls access to these projects, using a checkin/checkout methodology, preventing multiple users from working on an individual project at the same time. An audit log is maintained so that details of who created, modified and deleted a project can be determined. Users can then follow this audit trail for each project. The use of the SQL Server database format means that not only can the product easily sort and filter many project files, but all file handling is done very quickly. All the projects are compressed to minimise storage space, without sacrificing handling speed. The SQL format allows access over a local area network as well as across an Internet connection. To find out more about the Isolib Project Management application contact ARMS Reliability Engineers on +61 3 5255 5357 or visit www.reliability.com.au ARMS LccWare LccWare gives you the power to create and develop a life cycle cost model in a user friendly visual environment and provides you with professional quality reports for analysis and budget predictions. Software Details - Functionality: Life cycle costing is a methodology for calculating the whole cost of a system from inception to disposal. The system will vary from industry to industry and could for instance be a building, a ship, a weapon system or a power station. Whatever the system, the life cycle costing technique will be the same, the major items of cost will be defined through its life. These items could include research and development, construction, operation and maintenance and disposal. LccWare makes the calculations of these costs easy and comprehensive, and is the perfect decision making tool for managers, engineers and anyone involved in the decision making of assessing equipment life or analyzing alternatives. By using the LCC method to compare product alternatives, the true lifetime costs of each alternative are compared and the most cost-effective alternative can be chosen. To learn more about how LccWare can help your business visit www.reliability.com.au Full working demonstration versions and online demonstrations can be arranged through our website. ARMS Network Availability Prediction The latest addition to the Isograph RAMS Suite, the Network Availability Program (NAP) enables users to predict the availability and reliability of communication networks. Software Details - Functionality: The Network Availability Program (NAP) enables users to predict the availability and reliability of communication networks. The NAP network availability model utilises an extended Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) methodology that addresses the specific characteristics of network elements and their connections. In addition to predicting network availability, NAP also provides criticality rankings that identify weak spots in the network. NAP provides many time-saving features to allow users to quickly construct the network diagram. These include a parts library facility that allows users to import their parts data in convenient groupings, a network element library facility that allows users to construct common network element diagrams and a fully interactive network diagram construction facility. Complex or simple networks may be modelled using NAP. One of the important features of NAP is that it allows the modelling of data flow in different directions along the same network path. This means that users need not be specific about the direction of data flow in selected parts of the network. NAP will then automatically determine the allowable paths between a source and target, and hence determine the minimal cut sets that
determine the availability of the network. To learn more about how NAP can help your business visit www.reliability.com.au Full working demonstration versions and online demonstrations can be arranged through our website.
