This paper describes recent activity in JAXA aiming reformation of design and development (D & D) process by introduction of information technology, simulation technology, reliability engineering, etc for rocket valve reliability improvement. In this activity, JAXA's information system for rocket valve D & D will be developed by the end of FY2007. This information system consists of detailed FMEA/FTA utilization support tool, QFD utilization support tool, and material database system and material database utilization support tool. This information system will help to improve efficiency and reliability of D & D process of JAXA's rocket valves and other JAXA's products.
