Where MTBFsolutions Goes Deepest
Four specialist disciplines built over decades of programme experience, available to your team from day one.
Beyond the life cycle
Four areas where experience runs deepest
The Our Services page shows what MTBFsolutions can support across all twelve phases of the product development life cycle. This page goes further. These are the four areas where the depth of experience is most concentrated, where the work is most technically demanding, and where getting the documentation right has the greatest impact on your programme.
If you are facing a specific challenge in any of these areas, contact us directly. You do not need to read every page first.
SPECIALIST SERVICE 01
Reliability Analysis and MTBF
Reliability analysis is one of the most technically demanding documentation tasks in any programme. The analysis has to be accurate, the methodology has to be traceable, and the results have to be presented in a format your approval authority will accept without question. MTBFsolutions has completed reliability analyses across a wide range of product types and approval environments, working to MIL-HDBK-217, RDF 2000, Telcordia, and IEC 62380 as required by the programme.
The process begins with the customer's bill of materials and ends with a final report that is ready for submission. Every step in between is managed by MTBFsolutions, including clarification of any outstanding component data, temperature range analysis, and any customer-specified additional analysis requirements.

SPECIALIST SERVICE 02
Product Approval and Compliance Documentation
Getting a product approved by an authority requires more than good engineering. It requires a documentation package that is complete, consistent, and structured in a way the authority can follow without ambiguity. MTBFsolutions has prepared approval submissions for civil aviation, defence, and commercial product programmes, working directly with certification authorities and managing the documentation programme through to approval.
The most common reason for approval delays is not failed testing. It is documentation that is incomplete, inconsistently referenced, or presented in a format the authority cannot easily review. MTBFsolutions eliminates that risk.

Product Approval Plans
-
Compliance Summary documentation
-

SPECIALIST SERVICE 03
ILS Analysis and Documentation
Integrated Logistic Support analysis is a requirement on most defence and many commercial programmes, but it is frequently left late in the programme schedule and then rushed to meet the approval submission deadline. MTBFsolutions treats ILS as a parallel workstream to the engineering documentation programme, not an afterthought. The result is ILS analysis and documentation that is accurate, traceable, and ready for authority review.
The ILS package supports the full in-service life of the product, covering maintenance planning, spares provisioning, training requirements, and technical publication inputs. MTBFsolutions prepares ILS documentation to the standard required by the relevant authority, whether that is EASA, the CAA, LBA, or a defence procurement authority.

SPECIALIST SERVICE 04
Planning and Procedural Documentation
Planning documentation is the framework that holds the entire programme together. A well-written Development Assurance Plan, Systems Engineering Management Plan, or Configuration Management Plan does not just satisfy the approval authority. It gives the engineering team a clear set of rules to work to, reduces decision-making overhead during the programme, and makes the approval submission significantly easier to compile.
MTBFsolutions prepares planning and procedural documentation to DO-254, DO-178, and ARP4754A standards. The DO-254 process, which governs the development of complex electronic hardware, is one of the most documentation-intensive assurance frameworks in aerospace. MTBFsolutions has direct experience managing DO-254 documentation programmes from initial planning through to Stage of Involvement review.

-
Hardware Development Assurance Plans (DO-254)
-
Systems Engineering Management Plans (ARP4754A)
