Key Points

  • the time to define “failure” is long before reliability testing begins.
  • it is more than “it doesn’t work.”
  • understanding an item failure begins with understanding the item function.
  • some companies use “doesn’t meet stated requirements.”
  • other companies use “what a discerning customer would return for warranty repair.”
  • What about abuse?
  • What about “failures” beyond the stated time?
  • What about “failures” that are outside the operating environment?
  • team should agree on failure definition.
