Proposed Model for Integrating RAMS Method in the Design Process in Construction

There is a growing trend in the Netherlands for outsourcing public construction activities to the private sector through the use of integrated contracts. There is also an increasing emphasis from public clients on the use of RAMS and life cycle costing (LCC) in the design process of infrastructural...

There is also an increasing emphasis from public clients on the use of RAMS and life cycle costing (LCC) in the design process of infrastructural projects to improve the performance of designed systems and optimize the project cost. RAMS is an acronym for `reliability, availability, maintainability and safety' and represents a collection of techniques to provide predictions of the performance targets of the required system.
