Research Study: Reliability injection into an existing product (army with optimized linearization modeling concept

• Analyzed  the injection of RAM (Reliability, Availability and Maintainability) modelling into the Advanced Collaborative System Optimization Model (ACSOM) without sacrificing its computation capacity to improve OEE (Overall Equipment Efficiency) by 15%.

• Performed analysis of extending the capabilities of ACSOM by 25% to account for reliability growth opportunities and life cycle-cost impact using Minitab and Advanced EXCEL and provided ongoing reports results.

• Determined correlations between Reliability, Availability and Maintainability data by using statistical tests like ANOVA, t tests, correlation in Minitab to support future product development and sustainable design decisions.

The project aided in 
1. The development of a literature review to explore current research in integrating the Design Structures Matrix (DSM) tool with the Set-Based Design (SBD) Product Development (PD) methodology
2. Supported the development of conference papers and journal article submissions to: 
    a. 22nd International DSM Conference - Montréal, Canada
    b. 88th MORS Symposium - U.S. Coast Guard Academy, October 2020, New London, CT, June 15-18, 2020
