Importance of Reliability Goal and Vision Discussions

Abstract

Setting reliability targets requires much more than assigning a reliability number.

Reliability targets need to include the intended function of the system or component, the probability of achieving the intended function, the operating conditions and environment, and the time over which reliability needs to be achieved.

Management must be directly involved in developing and communicating the reliability vision and ensuring the necessary steps to achieving reliability are in place.
