System, method and computer product for performing automated predictive reliability
First Claim
1. A system for performing automated predictive reliability on a complex system having a plurality of subsystems and a plurality of components within each subsystem, comprising:
- a data acquisition component that acquires service data for the plurality of components of at least one of the plurality of subsystems and determines age information and failure information from the service data for each of the plurality of components;
a statistical analysis component that generates a statistical model according to the age information and failure information; and
a simulation component that predicts future failures for the life cycle of the plurality of components according to the statistical model.

Abstract
System, method and computer product for performing automated predictive reliability. A data acquisition component acquires service data for a complex system from a data repository. A statistical analysis component generates a statistical model for the service data. A simulation component predicts the reliability of the complex system according to the statistical model. An alert generation component generates alerts when predicted failures determined by the simulation component exceed predetermined alert criteria. A report generation component generates a summary of the analysis performed in the data acquisition, statistical analysis and alert generation components.
