I’m just back from a week long trip to Switzerland.  I was there developing a new Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) course for the “R is 4 Reliability” education series.  If you have ever been to Switzerland you found that there are several things that are striking about this place.  The natural beauty is unparalleled. Just about every view from every angle is of a beautiful snow capped mountain that has a lake or stream connected at its base. It’s never got old to look up and be viewing a real life postcard.

Second Session!!!

“The Perfect Reliability Program Plan”

We held the New England HALT Seminar this past week.  It’s a little fun thing we like to put on every so often here in Boston. We do a few sessions where we talk about Reliability topics, we then play around with the HALT chambers and break a few things. It was great having sponsorship from Espec/Qualmark, and Air Liquide this year.  In past years it has just been me doing a few 30 minute sessions (one man show).  But this year we had four speakers and a diverse set of topics.  Definitely our best one yet.  This may grow to where we can’t do it at the lab any longer. Hopefully not, I don’t want to try and bring a HALT chamber to a conference center.
