Issues relevant to the collection, analysis, and application of reliability data are discussed. In terms of analysis, attention is given to: current common practice and its limitations; the need for feedback-to-data collection process; lack of high-quality software for reliability analysis; contribution of exploratory analysis techniques; problems of small data sets and of over interpretations: and critical need for sensitivity analysis in reliability studies. In terms of applications, attention is given to the alternative purposes for which such reliability data can be used: safety, cost, legislation, and system availability evaluation; maintenance and replacement decisions; logistic support and spares provisioning; initial design and quality changes; and procedural and monitoring changes
