Lotus 1-2-3 based system reliability program

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5770709
This report describes a Lotus 1-2-3 based system reliability computer program. The program uses 1-2-3's powerful macro capabilities to generate system reliability and graphic output in a user-friendly, menu driven fashion. The program features: series connected, parallel connected, and k-of-n redundant parallel connected subsystem reliability calculations; and aggregate total system reliability calculations. The user enters component name, mean-time-before-failure (MTBF), and mean-time-to-repair (MTTR). The program calculates component failure rate and availability; subsystem MTBF, MTTR, and availability. Bar chart graphic presentation of component and system MTBF and availability are options through menu selections. The power of 1-2-3 is demonstrated by utilizing the integrated nature of the package i.e., calculative, database, and graphic operations. These techniques can be easily adopted for other applications.
