This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) describes several of the commonly performed Reliability and Safety (R&S) analysis tasks, with emphasis on their inter-relationships and common data elements. This document also describes how the R&S process can be integrated, reducing duplicate work effort and providing more accurate, comprehensive, and standardized analysis results.

To illustrate how this integration can be accomplished, several specific reliability and safety tasks are performed on a subsystem of an example product.
