RAMS Industry Study

RAMS Industry Study

Longtitudinal Reasearch Study - 2024 | 2025 | 2026.

This report presents the findings of a cross- industry study examining how RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety) is understood, applied, & prioritized across the engineering lifecycle. The survey was conducted, by PHM Technology, in 2024 and repeated again in 2025 using an identical set of questions, enabling direct, year-over-year comparison.

The study is a longitudinal study being conducted in 2026 and scheduled for 2027 onwards.

RAMS is at an inflection point

expectations are rising beyond what traditional approaches can deliver.

In this study participation increased by 22% between 2025 and 2025, strengthening the robustness of the results. The study provides insight into how perceptions of RAMS are evolving, where it is creating value, and where organizations continue to face challenges in effectively embedding RAMS into engineering decision-making.

Key Comparison Results

“RAMS Is Moving Onto the Critical Engineering Path. It is being held back by federated tools not designed to effect greater change in the industry.”

The importance of RAMS is rising faster than organizational maturity.

“The Core RAMS Challenge Is Effectiveness, Not Execution. Executives are looking for RAMS analysis to assist in making decisions”

disconnect between producing RAMS analyses and embedding their results into the critical engineering path.
