Abstract
A computer-based monitoring system and monitoring method implemented in computer software for analyzing the reliability data collected in the maintenance and repair operations in a fleet of assets with parts of the same type over a period of time. The reliability data include reliability event data, such as failures, repairs, and replacements of the parts. The reliability data further include asset usage data, such as usage time, or usage missions, or usage mileage, or usage flight hours, or such. The monitoring system analyses historical reliability data to build a reliability model. This model is further used in reliability SPC algorithms detecting bad actor assets and bad actor parts that show consistently worse reliability than normal parts and assets.
