The Survivorship Bias Principal podcast episode with speaker Adam Bahret In 1942, the US Air Force needed to figure out how to get more bombers home. They were losing them at an atrocious rate. They made a study of where the returning bombers were being hit. It was a great data set. But they should have done better in interpreting that data. Abraham Wald, a mathematician, corrected their assumptions and created the Survivorship Bias principle. This principle has changed the way we look at data sets and trends. It is a concept that I apply to field failure data sets regularly more than once. It has caught evidence of core issues that would have otherwise been missed. This webinar will open your eyes to this important perspective. It’s so simple and has made many heroes in the data analysis world since Abraham Ward. This webinar is for you if you analyze data or even manage teams that use data. You can learn how your data sets tell you much more about your field failures than you think. This webinar is for anyone who works with or manages data-based programs. There are no math or statistics prerequisites. We are covering a philosophy.

Selecting Reliability Engineering Tools podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg The toolbox for reliability engineering work is large. We have tools for risk management, data analysis, failure analysis, team building, and more. We touch on material science at the molecular level and then shift to assessing a vendor's reliability program when you use which tool is critical to your effectiveness. So, how do you determine which tool to use for a given situation? Let's explore a few different situations and step through the decision process to determine which tool to employ. You may need to learn how to use a new tool or set of skills, modify how you use an existing tool, or apply what you already know how to do. The selection hinges on knowing what is available, understanding the current situation and available information, plus how well will a particular approach work in your organization. Choosing the right tool requires matching the type and complexity of the problem and the situation at hand. Let's discuss how to enable you always to apply the right tool to get the best results in this interactive and practical event. This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 14 July 2020.

The Reliability Value Map. It is a thing. podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson If reliability engineering costs you money, then you are doing it wrong. But chances are that someone you work for looks at reliability engineering as a black hole of costs. This needs to stop! Reliability engineering is about creating value. Or money. Or more missions. Or safety. But it would help if you showed how this will happen. This is where a Reliability Value Map helps. Put simply, it is an organized chart that helps you track down every possible good' thing reliability can do for you. And how you measure it' to put it into a business case. And once you know the sources of value the decision should become easy. Want to learn more? Listen today! This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 23 June 2020.

Overview of Life Testing in Minitab podcast episode with speaker Rob Schubert Many companies haven't the resources to purchase much more expensive software specifically for reliability, but many have the quality software Minitab. Minitab has many reliability functions available; this presentation covers the basics, beginning with individual distribution identification to ensure your data fits one of the reliability models. Data is then analyzed with parametric distributions (right censoring vs arbitrary censoring). Additionally, the accelerated life testing functions are explored, focusing on interpreting the results. This is presented with practical examples for clarity. This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 16 June 2020.

What to Do About MTBF Use podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg While the NoMTBF movement is progressing, we still find those who want to use MTBF (or MTTF). As you know, MTxx-type metrics are means. They contain little information and are generally misunderstood and misused. So, what should a well-educated practitioner do? Let's discuss a few ways you can and should respond to requests for MTBF. How to ask vendors, or anyone, for reliability information by not asking for nor accepting MTBF. Plus, let's brainstorm and outline a few steps each of us can do tomorrow and every day to minimize the misuse of MTBF and related measures.

Optimizing Servicing Intervals and Witchcraft. There actually is a difference. podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson Have you ever wondered if your servicing intervals are good'? Do you know what good' is? Are you servicing too much or too little? What happens if you service too much? Do you use some basic equations in textbooks and plug in numbers that seem too simple and basic, AND you don't understand them (all at the same time)? If you have asked yourselves any of these questions, then this is the webinar for you. A really simple, never done this before. Please join me in the discussion on what it actually means to optimize servicing intervals. There are some basic statistics involved ( there has to be). But it doesn't need to be that hard. And the reality is that most manufacturers don't really know how you are going to use their product so they always ask you to service too much, which makes it LESS reliable. Want to learn more?

Reliability Engineering versus Quality Engineering podcast episode I recently received a question about the differences and similarities and which discipline is better concerning reliability and quality engineering. Some say reliability is a characteristic of quality, while I say reliability is quality yet over time. Both use statistics, both support design or operations teams, and both use an array of similar tools. At times, the difference is only in focus. Quality may focus on consistently applying a specific color shade on a surface, whereas reliability focuses on that color lasting over time. Let's explore similarities and differences and how to work together best to achieve results. Let's discuss areas of overlap and confrontation. Let's also examine how the different mindsets work or don't work when crossing from quality to reliability. This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 12 May 2020.

PDFs, CDFs, and other ‘Fs’ What the hell are they? podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson Ok. They say there are lies, damn lies, and statistics. At the heart of statistics are these intimidating functions like probability density functions’ and cumulative distribution functions.' They mean something but are practically useless unless they help inform a decision. And we, as engineers, are supposed to know what these functions mean. But have you ever sat in a meeting or presentation where you realized some gaps in your knowledge? or perhaps you felt like you were given too many charts but not enough help to make your decision?

How to Learn Reliability Engineering podcast episode It's impossible to point to one moment, class, seminar, workshop, or conference where I learned reliability engineering. Not one situation, project, conversation, or meeting, either. Learning reliability engineering is a journey, and each is different. Some of us start in the field of reliability engineering by choice. Others by being assigned the role. Either way, we start a career-long journey that includes formal and informal education and a lot of exploration, discovery, and observations. Let's look at a few ways to learn what you need to know to become a reliability engineer. Where do you start? What resources are available? How to structure where to focus both short term and long. More than just a catalog of available learning opportunities, let's focus on how you can assess where you are along the path and what you need to know, then discuss a few options available to you to gain the knowledge you need to continue your professional development.

Weibull Probability Plotting How to learn more by just looking! podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson If you are a reliability engineer chances are you have done a Weibull plot.

But if you know a couple of things (or tricks of the trade), you can look at this straight line and learn a lot more than some numbers will ever teach you.
