R&M Technologies provides reliability, maintainability and logistics support analysis services. It developed RamLog software in 1992 to manage lifecycle logistics data. RamLog includes capabilities like FMECA, RCM analysis, maintenance task analysis, technical manual authoring, and a simulation edition to model system operations and support over the lifecycle. RamLog integrates with RAMLOG.NET for transactional database support.

thee ability to manage equipment assets, with respect to:
• stock and inventory control
• system utilisation and operational tracking
• as-maintained configuration control (i.e. configuration control during
maintenance and serial number tracking)
• collect system and equipment failure data
• collect maintenance and repair data
• collect supply and turn-around times/data
• implementation of a Failure Recording Analysis and Corrective Action
