The objective of the 'Reliability Program Plan' is to assure attainment of the reliability requirements of the acquisition as stated in the 'System/subsystem specification'.
Reliability should be stated initially in development
specifications as an aim with a lower minimum acceptable requirement.
In this case realistic requirements shall be determined and incorporated
later in the development specification together with the requirements
for demonstration.
The reliability of configuration items under development is difficult
to access without a knowledge of the reliability of components.
The segregation of reliabilities to HWCI, CSCI and their components
shall, where applicable, be given in as much detail as possible
and the extent to which such data may be used validating the requirement
stated.
Reliability and performance are now recognized as being of comparable
importance although this does to vary from one project to another.
