SOR 655 Hints to Have a Proactive Reliability Program
Hints to Have a Proactive Reliability Program
Abstract
Chris and Fred discuss ‘proactive’ reliability engineering … and trying to get out of being ‘reactive.’ Some entire organizations are structure around waiting for the catastrophe to happen before we fix it. So changing perspectives can be challenging.

SOR 654 Reliability Starts at the Top
Reliability Starts at the Top
Abstract
Chris and Fred discuss how reliability starts at the top of every organization. And by that, we mean … leadership. What does that mean? How can the CEO be more important for reliability performance than the reliability engineer with decades of experience and post-graduate qualifications?

SOR 649 Extrapolation and Sample Sizes
Extrapolation and Sample Sizes
Abstract
Chris and Fred discuss (essentially) how many ‘things’ you need to see to know enough about those ‘things.’ We see this conundrum across all sorts of fields of study. How many kangaroos do I need to capture and weigh to get a good understanding of the entire population’s typical weight? Delete kangaroo and insert whatever thing matters to you.

SOR 648 Accelerated Testing Assumptions
Accelerated Testing Assumptions
Abstract
Chris and Fred discuss accelerated testing. Accelerated testing is great for getting lots of information in a short period of time. You can compress a lot of ‘real-time’ life into a really small amount of testing. But how do you do it right? You need to understand the underlying physics of failure to work out how the compression of time works.
