Maintainability is the relative ease and economy of

time and resources with which an item can be retained

in, or restored to, a specified condition.

The Game of Maintainability has the target to train

the maintainability principles and the definition of

maintainability programs.

Directed to:

Students of

Technical

Schools

Engineers &

Technicians of

Maintenance

Designers of

machines

Use learning methods:

• Problem-based learning.

• Cooperative learning.

• Used in Technical Schools.

Based in the handbooks:

• DOD-HDBK-791 Military Handbook

Maintainability Design Techniques – Metric.

• MIL-HDBK-470A Department of Defense

Handbook Designing and Developing

Maintainable Products and Systems

Volume I.

GAME BOX

Facilitators:

• Strong knowledge of DOD-HDBK-791

and MIL-HDBK-470A.

• Lead the game.

• Help the players to obtain the goals.

1st Step:

• Repair a machine with penalty

factors.

• Measure the time to repair.

• Draw the maintainability functions

and calculate maintainability rates.

2nd Step:

• Define a maintainability program to remove

the penalty factors (with the maintainability

program generators).

• Redraw the maintainability functions and

recalculate maintainability rates.

• Compare and discuss results.

3rd Step:

• Define a maintainability program to include

features to facilitate maintainability (with the

maintainability program generators).

• Redraw the maintainability functions and

recalculate maintainability rates.

• Compare and discuss results.

Main Tool: Maintainability Program Generator.
