Accendo Reliability Webinar Series

Reliability Engineering and Risk Analysis podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg Risk is uncertainty. Will this work? How will this item fail? Is it safe? Risk is not limited to product failure, including brand topics such as market acceptance, regulatory approval, supply chain stability, international conflicts, and more. Reliability engineering tends to focus on product failure to perform as expected, and we must fit into the large context of risks facing any product or system. Let's discuss risk, risk management, and our role in identifying and mitigating risks. Plus, let's explore how reliability engineering tools fit into the larger risk management processes many organizations have in place. There are a few ways to deal with risk, from ignoring potential risks until forced into action to anticipating risks and preparing responses, just in case. We will do a bit of both, as we will only anticipate some potential risks, there are still surprises out there. Yet, the better we are at identifying risks and understanding our roles and responsibilities, the more we can eliminate or mitigate risks well.

Reliability Analysis … now what? Part 3 podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson This is the third in our webinar series Reliability Analysis now what?' The first webinar showed what it means to turn reliability data into something a decision-maker can use. Not a chart. Not a graph. Not a p' value. Not anything else that you find in a textbook but isn't useful. Last month's webinar talked about how the best way to do this is to use computers but in an easy way! And we talked about creating a posse' of possible ways' to explain the data we see. And this webinar is about how we use this thing called Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulation (MCMC) to create this posse.' And the posse' isn't random it is based on the likelihood' of each one being the correct one, which is how MCMC works. You can't really do this stuff without knowing the basics. So in this webinar, we show you the underlying mechanics of MCMC. And again relax! We aren't using equations just pictures! This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 27 October 2020.

Preventing Moisture and Corrosion Damage on Electronics in Harsh Conditions podcast episode with speaker Dan Jenkins The goal of this presentation is to educate the audience on options to prevent electronic equipment failure used in enclosed spaces from corrosion through preventative maintenance practices.    As most know, the metals used in today's electronics are processed but want to turn back to their original state as the iron components will oxidize, and the corrosion process begins.  Adding humidity, vibration, temperature swings, and acid environments (such as being in a tire plant or downwind from a refinery) will accelerate the process.  It is this corrosion and subsequent weakening or disfiguring of the metal that causes malfunctions and failures The presentation will discuss the following maintenance options, pros, and cons. 1) The use of barriers in the form of coatings and films to protect the metal. 2) The use of different types of desiccants to reduce moisture. This will include Silica Beads, Diatomaceous Earth, and Expanding Polymers. Additionally, the presentation will review how humidity develops and what actually happens to it in enclosed spaces. Finally, the presentation will review some simple self-test methods used to determine efficacy and a few related industry standards regarding protecting electrical components in storage. This information will help engineers and managers make better-educated decisions to help prevent the failure of electronic components that affect the facility's reliability. Dan Jenkins is a principal with Steel Camel and a specialist in accident prevention. He holds a degree in Industrial Technology from Chico State University.

6 Essential Reliability Engineering Formulas podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg Dick Moss, retired HP Corporate Quality and Reliability Manager, once mentioned there are only five equations necessary to be a good reliability engineer. He quickly listed four equations and, with a smile, said the fifth one is the one you need to solve the current problem. Dick understood that we need a wide range of formulas and equations to do our job. We need to fully understand a range of concepts as well. I do not know if there are just five essential formulas, yet there are six essential concepts that we must understand. Let's discuss a few formulas, understand their idea or concept, and how to best use (or not use) the formula. Using a particular formula requires understanding the purpose, limitations, and assumptions involved. It also requires the knowledge that you are using the right formula. What do you consider the essential formulas? Please feel free to add your thoughts or questions when registering. This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 13 October 2020.

Reliability Analysis … now what? Part 2 podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson Last month's webinar was Reliability Analysis now what?' And we showed how to slightly tweak' all those textbook reliability analyses into USEFUL ACTIVITIES. What good is a 90 % confidence bound on reliability? What does this mean for profit? Or fleet size? Or mission success? We solved this problem by identifying the ‘likely’ ways we can explain our data. In fact – there is a whole bunch of statistics on creating the ‘likelihood’ of an explanation of what we see. We use this ‘likelihood’ in most statistical applications – including those USEFUL ACTIVITIES we discussed above. But what is this ‘likelihood’? What does it mean – particularly if I am trying to analyze data and turn it into something useful? Well … finding this likelihood ‘thing’ is much simpler than it sounds. And it is essential to turn a random bunch of failure data points (or something similar) into something you can base a decision on. So, in this webinar, we will show what this ‘thing’ is and how to turn any reliability data into that likelihood. Which is the next step on your journey to providing useful information to your decision-maker? Which also means YOU become more valuable!

Essential Reliability Engineering Techniques podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg The difficult part of creating this list of essential techniques is to avoid selecting just the most common. There is an overlap between essential and those commonly used, yet essential implies a technique is crucial crucial in rare yet very important situations. The idea for today’s discussion is to focus on those vital few techniques that every reliability engineer must master. The techniques I’ve settled on are not specific tools in most cases. Instead, they are the fields of knowledge or practice. For example, instead of suggesting that Weibull analysis is essential, I suggest that math skills are essential. You can do a wide range of analysis and modeling with sufficient math prowess. Your science, engineering, and math formal training will serve you well as a reliability engineer, and that is not sufficient to be successful. Not every problem involves using a math technique, although it is common. You also need to master techniques in failure analysis and experimentation. Plus, please do not forget that we work with others,; the essential techniques of persuasion and team building are likewise vital. Let’s discuss this shortlist of essential techniques, consider why I suggest they are essential, and explore others that you consider essential.

Practical Use of Stress-Strength Models to Develop Specifications podcast episode with speaker Rob Schubert Warranty returns are a great place to start for setting targets for new products. But how do you translate that to specific numbers to design to? If you know the strength of a product and the return rate, you can develop stress profiles. If you have multiple similar products, your estimates can be even better. From the profiles, targets can be developed for future products to meet and use them to calculate the expected return rates. You can even use these profiles to estimate the impact of design changes to warranty returns. This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 18 August 2020.

Essential Reliability Engineering Concepts podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg Everything will eventually fail. I like to say that keeps us in business as reliability engineers. The trick is knowing what will fail and when. There are many potential causes for a product or system to fail. Design flaws, supplied component latent defects, assembly damage, and unexpected applied stresses exist. The key to take away from this concept is we can learn when studying failures. We can work to prevent or delay specific types of failures. By learning about failures, we learn how to create reliable products. Let's discuss the concept of failures and a few other concepts universal to reliability engineering. Understanding the foundational concepts for our work can only assist you in your work.

So what is up with this Bayesian' analysis stuff podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson Some of you may have heard of Bayesian analysis.' You may think this is something fancy that only universities do. Or something we never do because it is all about best guesses.' Well neither of these things are true. Why would you be interested in Bayesian analysis? Simple. It allows you to use EVERY PIECE OF INFORMATION you have. This can be expert judgment. Or it can be test data on a similar thing.' Or it could be combining test data for one part of your thing' combined with test data for all of your thing.' Still not excited?
