Software For Analysis Of Reliability, Redundancy, And Cost

CARRAC is software tool for combined analysis of reliability, redundancy, and cost of alternative choices of subsystem that is part of larger system. Uses various parameters entered from computer keyboard to determine subsystem and redundancy method (if any) that minimizes cost. Also, calculation selected from five different mathematical models that enable application of CARRAC to wide variety of cases. Uses parameters to calculate and compare total expected cost for alternatives of a chosen subsystem. Written in Microsoft Quick-Basic v4.5.
