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

One of the more significant challenges for reliability engineering in product development is the complete execution of the planned reliability process in product development. The reliability tools and techniques outlined in the product plan are often skipped or delayed, minimizing the opportunity for outputs to fully impact the program and product.
This contrast between planning and execution does not occur equally with product plan goals such as time to market, developed technical features, and product cost points. Each is closely measured in development and has a strong presence when the resource is re-negotiated during the program. Specific considerations must be made for reliability due to its more complicated nature to measure performance and improve towards the target.
This webinar and a continuing collaborative group will study these product development challenges for reliability and drive to develop long-term solutions.
A collaborative group will be launched after the webinar. This group will be focused on continuing the discussion around methodologies to improve the implementation of DfR in the product development process. The group will meet once a month online and continuously communicate through a private forum.
The group will contribute significantly to building case studies and providing input on applied methods and proposed strategies. It will be a great place for all members to receive support and share their experiences while being a major contributor to this new progression of the reliability discipline. You are invited to join and share your experience and ideas.
This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 26 July 2017.

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.
This webinar introduces you to the topic of reliability growth (both qualitative and quantitative) along with key concepts
I will discuss the identification of conditions that cause materials to degrade. Understanding stressors is good for design for reliability
