Plug-In Maintenance Sparing Guidelines
10
Table 10-20 provides a guideline for determining the number of DDM-2000
FiberReach plug-in spares needed for a given number of plug-ins in the field. The
sparing guide serves as an initial estimate and is calculated with the following
assumptions:
■
The method for calculating spares follows the procedure described in
Telcordia Technologies SR-TSY-000385, Issue 1.
■
The steady-state failure rate is assumed. Failure rates are based on the
reliability prediction procedure (RPP) method described in
TR-TSY-000332, Issue 4.
■
The spare availability objective (SAO) is 99 percent. The SAO is the long-
term probability that a spare plug-in is available when it is needed.
■
A no-trouble-found (NTF) factor of 1.67 is multiplied to the failure rate. This
accounts for replacements of plug-ins when actually no failure has
occurred. The NTF factor is expected to approach 1.25 as the product
matures. The likelihood of an NTF decreases as the product matures, and
sparing needs will therefore diminish over time.
■
Turnaround time of a returned plug-in is two weeks.
Table 10-20. Sparing Guidelines
SAO = 99%
DDM-2000 OC-3 and OC-12, FiberReach NTF factor = 1.67
Turn around time (weeks) = 2
Turn around time (hours) = 336
