Some of the many useful applications include the ability to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify critical components (or failure modes) and determine the most effective ways to improve system performance through design improvements and\/or maintenance planning.<\/li>\n<li>Use simulation to obtain estimated performance metrics that can facilitate decision-making in a variety of areas, such as scheduling planned maintenance, planning for spares, identifying bottlenecks in production throughput and estimating life cycle costs.<\/li>\n<li>Identify vulnerabilities in a system and determine the most effective ways to reduce the risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These examples demonstrate some of the types of analyses you can perform with this application.
