Growth Planning Folio and Multi-Phase Plots

For reliability growth data analysis only.

This chapter describes two features that can be used in conjunction with data analyses performed with the Crow Extended and Crow Extended – Continuous Evaluation models. You can also use the MIL-HDBK 189 model with a continuous growth planning folio.

You can:

• Use the growth planning folio to develop an effective reliability growth test management plan for a single- or multi-phase test.
• Use the multi-phase plot to view the actual test results (analyzed with either the Crow Extended model or the Crow Extended – Continuous Evaluation model) across multiple test phases. If desired, you can also use the plot to compare the actual results against the original test plan.

There is also a case study example that demonstrates how the three tools (test plan, test data analysis and multi-phase plot) can be used together for multi-phase test planning and management.
