A CRITICAL REVIEW OF RAM METHODOLOGY: ANALYSIS AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION IN INDUSTRIAL COMPLEXITIES.

This paper investigates the reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) characteristics of a in different systems of the process industries. Critical mechanical subsystems with respect to failure frequency, reliability and maintainability are identified for taking necessary measures for enhancing availability of the respective industries. As complexity of the systems increasing across the various sectors so performance evaluation becomes necessary for the smooth functioning of all the systems of respective industry. The study explores the evolution of RAM approaches over time, highlighting their significance in ensuring the efficient operation of intricate systems. It provides an overview of the historical development and current state of RAM practices in the complex system of the industries. A comprehensive review of academic literature from the past two decades, including books, journals, and scholarly articles, is conducted to expand the analysis, mainly focus on the evaluating RAM methodology in diverse industrial contexts, different complex system and other process industrie [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
