For their large original and licence-built marine engines, M.A.N, have developed a systems- oriented reliability programme. Itconsists ofthree essential parts: 1. Work analysis, 2. Wear data analysis, 3. Engine readings. Work analysis is the continuous and complete recording of all the work carried out on an engine. The

Engineers aboard the vessel record the 'events' on cards. At M.A.N, the computer arranges them in systematic order, checks them for plau- sibility and finally evaluates them. Reliability technology consequently leads to design improvements, recommendations for optimal engine operation including selection of fuels and lubricants as well as perfection of maintenance charts.
