An obvious result of good reliability engineering is the lack of field failures. Connecting your work to the results is not always obvious. In todays lean organizations everyone has to provide tangible value. Yet, if the product is doing well, how do you show your ongoing contribution to the organization? Reliability engineering may increase the cost of a product or recommend expensive product testing. Justifying these expenses is often based on the chance of improved product reliability. It is the quantification of value due to specific reliability engineering actions that enables you to articulate your worth to an organization. This short book explores how to calculate the value of reliability engineering activities. We explore ways to estimate value for use in engineering proposals. We know that a reliable product provides value to the customer, it also is a value to you and your organization. Here you will learn how to connect specific reliability engineering work to the real value created.
The reliability maturity matrix is a framework to help you understand the organization's reliability culture and to make improvements to that culture, as needed. Recommendations that move the organization to the right on the maturity matrix should address all the key reliability practice areas. This book includes specific steps to move an organization from one block of the matrix to the block to the right.This book's intent is to provide you with practical and actionable information so you can change the culture of your organization and consistently create reliable products for your customers.
This book is designed to help the reliability engineer get a good start in scoping out the strategy to use in new product development. The reliability engineer can then influence and enhance the reliability decisions made by the development team and connect the needed reliability tools with the specific technology/application.
This short book explores reliability metrics including MTBF and reliability. The choice to avoid using MTBF and switch to reliability should become obvious. Understanding our metrics and the behavior they promote allows reliability professionals to speak clearly and improve reliability performance.
Every customer wants high reliability. From a simple bicycle brake cable to a complex lunar vehicle, reliability is a key ingredient of each and every product. Understand and master the process to set and reach reliability goals.
In this book the authors provide a fresh look at basic reliability and maintainability engineering techniques and management tools for ap plication to the system maintenance planning and implementation process. The essential life-cycle reliability centered maintenance (ReM) activities are focused on maintenance planning and the prevention of failure. The premise is that more efficient, and therefore effective, life-cycle main tenance programs can be established using a well disciplined decision logic analysis process that addresses individual part failure modes, their consequences, and the actual preventive maintenance tasks. This premise and the techniques and tools described emphasize prev...
This book provides an application-oriented framework for reliability modeling and analysis of repairable systems in conjunction with the procurement process of weapon systems and throughput analysis for industries. Most of the reliability literature is directed towards non-repairable systems, that is, systems that fail are discarded or replaced. This book is mainly dedicated towards providing coverage to the reliability modeling and analysis of repairable systems that undergo failure-repair cycles. This unique book provides a comprehensive framework for the modeling and analysis of repairable systems considering both the non-parametric and parametric approaches to deal with their failure dat...
Failure analysis is the preferred method to investigate product or process reliability and to ensure optimum performance of electrical components and systems. The physics-of-failure approach is the only internationally accepted solution for continuously improving the reliability of materials, devices and processes. The models have been developed from the physical and chemical phenomena that are responsible for degradation or failure of electronic components and materials and now replace popular distribution models for failure mechanisms such as Weibull or lognormal. Reliability engineers need practical orientation around the complex procedures involved in failure analysis. This guide acts as...
