QCP Results and Plots for Repairable Systems Analysis

RGA includes a Quick Calculation Pad (QCP) for computing useful metrics, and multiple plots that allow you to visualize the results of your analyses. The following calculations and plots are available when you are performing repairable systems analysis with the power law or Crow-AMSAA (NHPP) model.

Note: When you analyze data from fielded systems, RGA combines the data to create a single superposition system or cumulative timeline. Any plots generated for the combined data set and subsequent analyses via the Quick Calculation Pad will be based on the resulting system/timeline. See Fielded Data for more information about how the software combines the data for analysis.

QCP Calculations

To open the Quick Calculation Pad (QCP), choose Growth Data > Analysis > Quick Calculation Pad or click the icon on the control panel.

This section describes the types of calculations you can perform in the QCP for repairable systems analysis. For general information on how to use the QCP, see Quick Calculation Pad (QCP). For information about the metrics and plots available for other types of analyses that you can perform in RGA, see QCP Calculations and Plots for Traditional RGA and QCP Calculations and Plots for Crow Extended.

When you are performing repairable systems analysis with a Repairable or Fleet data sheet, the following calculations will be available:

The following calculations are available only for the Repairable data sheet (which models the number of individual system failures vs. system time, rather than the number of fleet failures vs. fleet time).

Plots

You can create plots by choosing Growth Data > Analysis > Plot or by clicking the icon on the control panel.

This section describes the types of plots you can create for repairable systems analysis. The scaling, setup, exporting and confidence bounds settings are similar to the options available for all other RGA plot sheets. For more information on these common options, see Plots.

When you are performing repairable systems analysis with a Repairable or Fleet data sheet, the following plots may be available.

 

Tip: RGA includes two additional plot utilities you can use across all types of data: the overlay plot, which allows you to compare different data sets or models; and the side-by-side plot, which allows you to display different plots of a single data set all in a single window for easy comparison.
