Abstract

Carl and Fred discussing the three most important principles that summarize the reliability philosophy of successful companies, with focus on the second principle.

Key Points

Join Carl and Fred as they discuss the second reliability principle: “Reliability must be designed into products and processes.”

Topics include:

• Shorter product development processes and tighter budgets require focus on reliability in design.
• Lengthy test and fix treadmill does not achieve reliability within the shorter PDP does not work.
• Enable design teams to make the right decisions.
• Two DFR strategies: focus on effective methods and influence design (people skills)
• Reliability is part of concurrent engineering
• Product and process reliability

Enjoy an episode of Speaking of Reliability. Where you can join friends as they discuss reliability topics. Join us as we discuss topics ranging from design for reliability techniques, to field data analysis approaches.

Show Notes

Three important principles summarize the reliability philosophy of successful companies:

1. Knowing how to calculate reliability is important, but knowing how to achieve reliability is more important.
2. Reliability must be designed into products and processes.
3. Reliability practices must be integrated into overall product development and design processes.
