Tolerance specification communicates the allowance for part variation. Variation happens, and when it is within what we expect, great.

Sounds simple, right? And it is. Reliability growth literally refers to a process where we improve the reliability of a product, system, or service. But sometimes we find ourselves in situations where it is expected that not only do we understand reliability growth but measure it. And predict how much it will grow in the future. This is sometimes called Reliability Growth Testing (RGT), Reliability Growth Planning (RGP), or Reliability Growth Prediction. And there are lots of equations and models for all these things. But do these models actually model the real world?' can they work for you? SHOULD they work for you? This webinar introduces you to the topic of reliability growth (both qualitative and quantitative) along with key concepts (like the Duane Failure Pattern) to help you work out if there is (or is not) a place for reliability growth in your organization.

Tolerance specification communicates the allowance for part variation. Variation happens, and when it is within what we expect, great.
Early and often during product development, the team needs to know the expected and meaningful reliability prediction of the current design.
One of the challenges for reliability engineering in product development is reliability integration into the product development process.
How a focus on variability with process control, process capability and tolerances helps to improve reliability.
How a focus on variability with process control, process capability and tolerances helps to improve reliability.
If a person is not able to interact with your product, with or without the manual, they may consider your product a failure.
How to find and analyze temperature readings over a 10 year period, create histogram and determine how many hours below freezing may exist.
There are three approaches to set tolerance limits. Each has ramifications for the eventual manufacturability and reliability performance.
Warranty returns are a great start for setting targets for new products. But how do you translate that to specific numbers to design to?
DFR is more than a set of tools or activities, let's explore the building of a reliability culture that support reliability thinking
Fault tolerant design principles are the best approach to reliability. Or not. It depends on your design challenges.
Besides building your product inside your customer's facility, your product requires transportation to move your product.
