What is RAMS?

RAMS typically stands for Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety. It's a set of system engineering attributes and a process used to ensure that a system or product performs its intended function without failure over its intended lifespan, while also ensuring safety. RAMS analysis is commonly used in industries where system failures can have significant consequences, such as aerospace, automotive, railway, nuclear, and medical devices. It involves identifying potential hazards, assessing risks, and implementing mitigation strategies to improve system performance and prevent accidents or failures.
