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

Fault Tolerance
podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson
There comes a time in everyone's reliability journey' when it is either too hard or too expensive to keep perfecting your product, system, or service. Steel can only be so' pure. Clearances can only be so' accurate. Surfaces can only be so' smooth. And software can only be so' perfect. In fact, it might turn out to be better and cheaper to have two average' components, with one acting as a backup to the other. The premium' component might be too expensive or otherwise not as reliable as the backup system. Welcome to fault tolerance! This is where we design products, systems, or services to be able to handle faults, imperfections, deviations, errors, and lots of other things.
Fault tolerant design is the best approach to reliability. Or not. It depends on your design challenges. This webinar talks about fault tolerance in the hardware, software, and human domains of reliability. And how you can use these principles to make your product, system, or service that much more reliable (with minimum cost).
This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 27 July 2021.

Creating Meaningful Reliability Predictions
Early and often during product development, the team needs to know the expected and meaningful reliability prediction of the current design.
Reliability Integration into the Product Development Process
One of the challenges for reliability engineering in product development is reliability integration into the product development process.
Process Capability, Tolerance, and Reliability
How a focus on variability with process control, process capability and tolerances helps to improve reliability.
Fundamentals of Stress-Strength Analysis
How a focus on variability with process control, process capability and tolerances helps to improve reliability.
Fundamentals of Human Factors
If a person is not able to interact with your product, with or without the manual, they may consider your product a failure.
Using Available Weather Data
How to find and analyze temperature readings over a 10 year period, create histogram and determine how many hours below freezing may exist.
Fundamentals of Tolerance Analysis
There are three approaches to set tolerance limits. Each has ramifications for the eventual manufacturability and reliability performance.
Practical Use of Stress-Strength Models to Develop Specifications
Warranty returns are a great start for setting targets for new products. But how do you translate that to specific numbers to design to?
Fundamentals of Design for Reliability
DFR is more than a set of tools or activities, let's explore the building of a reliability culture that support reliability thinking
Fault Tolerance
Fault tolerant design principles are the best approach to reliability. Or not. It depends on your design challenges.
Helping Products Survive Transportation
Besides building your product inside your customer's facility, your product requires transportation to move your product.
What is Reliability Growth?
This webinar introduces you to the topic of reliability growth (both qualitative and quantitative) along with key concepts
Design for Reliability – Stressors
I will discuss the identification of conditions that cause materials to degrade. Understanding stressors is good for design for reliability
