The Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS) attracts leading Reliability and Maintainability experts from across industry, academia, and the U.S. Government. The topics addressed are broad, including R&M requirements, mission critical design and acquisition areas aimed at policies, technologies, lessons learned, modeling, simulation and training.

RAMS helps government and industry leaders become better partners by bringing producers and consumers of reliable and maintainable products and services together to discuss and engage on a host of topics such as achieving affordable reliability and maintainability programs, controlling reliability test costs throughout the life-cycle, incentivizing industry in reliability and maintainability, improving reliability process efficiency and payback, and promoting more effective competition.

RAMS offers training tutorials and reliability certification exam preparation for improving the acumen and enhancing the credentials of personnel at the symposium. Providing networking, education and training opportunities helps assure the readiness levels of all personnel so they are the most efficient in delivering and sustaining effective mission critical reliability and maintainability programs.
