This part of IEC 60300 introduces the dependability attribute of supportability (and support) and
the relationship with related dependability attributes of reliability, maintainability and
availability.
This document can be used at any time during an item’s life to guide the planning and
implementing of supportability and support activities focused on achieving an intended balance
of performance, cost and risk. All activities can be tailored to the nature of the item and its
conditions of use.
Guidance is offered on how supportability and support activities can be applied at any life cycle
stage for newly designed items, existing items available for commercial procurement, or for
items during their operational life.
This document considers the life cycle implications by formally managing risks associated with
the management and delivery of activities to create, operate, maintain and refurbish an item to
achieve its stated purpose.
This document describes the:
• nature of supportability and support;
• role of supportability and support in achieving item value over its life;
• trade-offs associated with supportability and support to achieve desired balance of cost,
performance and risk during the life of an item;
• importance of aligning the structure of an organization with its objectives, with the ultimate
aim of improving efficiency and effectiveness in order to deliver the required supportability
and support.
