The Telcordia Reliability Prediction Procedure (RPP) has a long and
distinguished history of use within and outside the telecommunications industry.
SR-332, Issue 2, September 2006, provides the only hardware reliability
prediction procedure developed from the input and participation of a
cross-section of major industrial companies. This lends the procedure and the
predictions derived from it a high level of credibility free from the bias of
any individual supplier or service provider.

The ARPP, Version 10.1, is an Excel-spreadsheet software tool that automates
the reliability prediction procedures in SR-332, Issue 2. It provides
suppliers and manufacturers with a simple tool for making RPP calculations. It
also provides a means for understanding RPP calculations through the capability
of interactive examples provided by the user.

FD-ARPP-01 contains both SR-332, Issue 2, and the ARPP
Excel-spreadsheet software tool on individual CD-ROM

ARPP, Version 10.1:

• Uses SR-332, Issue 2 methodologies: Incorporates the
  extensive changes developed from the input of several major industrial
  companies


• Less expensive than other industry reliability calculation software:
  It provides an alternative to expensive complex software systems, which have the
  RPP embedded as one of several prediction models


• Its format is portable and easy to use: The portability and
  relatively small size of the Excel spreadsheet on an individual CD-ROM permits
  greater flexibility of use than more complex systems


• Has a parts database capability: Includes the capability to apply a
  user's internal database that assigns SR-332, Issue 2 device types to
  specific device products as well as an aid to producing such a database.
  Drop-down menus ease this process.


• Eliminates the cumbersome task of replicating formulas and tables:
  Eliminates the need for SR-332 purchasers to replicate formulas and tables
  from the SR-332 document into their own tools


• Ensures the accuracy of calculations: Provides a way for suppliers
  and manufacturers to double-check calculations made on internal
  systems.
