Life Cycle Cost Analysis for a Reliability Engineer
The investment in creating a reliable product pays dividends during the operation of the equipment or system.
The ability to estimate future savings or costs based on reliability engineering is key. Minimizing lifecycle cost occurs with reliability.
The concept of a product or system life cycle is not new.
We, as reliability engineers, encourage the investment early in the lifecycle for the eventual payoff (benefit) later during the lifecycle.
We employ design for reliability, robustness, process control techniques, and many others to ensure the system operates as reliably as possible. Yet, there is a cost to operating any complex system.
Maintenance, spares, and downtime, to name a few. Early in the lifecycle just how do we estimate the benefits the suggested reliability improvement may create?
Let's explore estimating the total lifecycle costs for a complex system from the point of view of a reliability engineer. Join me in discussing what to consider and how to estimate future costs while working early in the program.
You need to know this even if your system is not complex or repairable.

Predicting the Value of a Reliability Goal in Your Organization
When setting a reliability goal, considere the value that reliability goal may provide. Let's explore three ways you can estimate the value.
Fundamentals of Cost of Poor Reliability
A discussion of the wide range of the impact of the cost of poor reliability on engineers, organizations, customers, and society.
Fundamentals of the Cost of Unreliability
When a product or system fails there is a consequence. Often there is a loss of value. A warranty replacement costs money.
