Abstract
Purpose
Maintainability is the ability of a product system to be maintained and is a design characteristic. The paper aims to provide an integrated system for complex product maintainability design and verification. It includes processes and tools that can be effectively used to plan, quantify and cost maintenance.
Design/methodology/approach
An integrated platform for maintainability design and verification is designed. A case‐based reasoning method of maintainability design and Extensible Markup Language‐based representation of maintenance procedure information are presented.
Findings
The paper finds that the proposed system is an efficient tool for complex product maintainability design and verification.
Practical implications
Early and effective planning and implementation of a maintainability program can significantly improve the reliability and availability of product system.
Originality/value
A desktop virtual reality application for product maintainability design and verification is presented.
