Summary:

Complex systems such as satellites, aircrafts, automobiles andair traffic controls are becoming increasingly complex and highlyintegrated as prescribed by the SAE ARP 4754 Standard. Theyintegrate many technologies and they work in very demandingenvironments sometimes with little or no maintenance due to thesevere conditions of operation. To survive such harsh operatingconditions, they require very high levels of reliability, to bereached by a diversity of approaches, processes, components, et ceteraBy their turn, the processes of analysis and decision making shallbe improved progressively, as experience accumulates and suggestsmodifications and adaptations.According to this philosophy, in this work, we discuss aproposal for improving the results of the Reliability Analysis andFMEA/FMECA of the CBERS Satellite Program, conducted at theNational Institute for Space Research-INPE, since 1987. To do that,we detail the following steps: 1) Anticipate components data toobtain failures rates and failures modes; 2) Anticipate resultsabout the Reliability Analysis (Reliability Prediction and DeratingAnalysis) and FMEA/FMECA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis/Failure Modes and Criticality Analysis) during the execution of theproject steps; 3) Completely obtain and document all theinformation needed for the CDR (Critical Design Review).Based on all that, we intend to show that the steps proposed inthis work can improve the processes of analysis and decision makingalready adopted in the CBERS Satellite Program; and that they maybe adapted to other projects of satellites, aircrafts, automobilesand air traffic controls in the aerospace, automotive andinformation technology industries
