This document provides an introduction to reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety (RAMS) concepts. It defines key RAMS terms and discusses factors that influence RAMS like quality of service. The document also outlines the RAMS life cycle, failure analysis methods, responsibilities in the RAMS process, and maintenance considerations like reliability centered maintenance and life cycle costs. It concludes with an overview of critical system items.
