Accendo Reliability Webinar Series

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. You take something like failure data, put it into a piece of software, and presto! You get a straight line with other numbers and stuff that makes your organization smarter! 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. Data is only as useful as the information you get from it. So, would you like to take your reliability engineering or probability plotting skills to the next level? Then check out this webinar!

3 Ways to Do Reliability Allocation podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson Having a reliability target for your product is excellent. But how does that help all the little design teams, who make their own decisions on all the different parts of your system? Well it starts with reliability allocation. Reliability allocation takes your system reliability goals and translates them into different reliability goals for each subsystem or component. But this is not just a theoretical exercise. Some subsystems or components need more manageable goals to achieve than others. And some can achieve reliability more cost-effectively. So how do you do it? If you structure the problem well it is easy to get right. Otherwise it is easy to get wrong. This webinar will explore 3 different approaches for allocating reliability some better than others.

Why Reliability Engineering Is Important podcast episode What do you tell someone you just met when they ask, So, what do you do? Saying you're a reliability engineer will likely get a polite nod or confused look. How do you explain what you do and why? Why is what we do as reliability-minded folk important? Some of us tend to focus on testing, modeling, or data analysis, yet those are tasks that we accomplish. Is that what reliability engineering is about? I don't think so. Let's explore the meaning behind the range of tools and tasks we use. Let's explore the underpinning for our motivation to do what we do. One way to describe what we do is to enable better decisions. Another is to answer the questions, what will fail, and when will it fail? Yet, another is we work to achieve reliability goals. We work to make things or systems last. Some of us work to break stuff to learn how to make the product better. When you examine what we do closely, it is important to our fellow engineers, our organization, our customers, and society. Understanding the importance of reliability work helps you focus on what is important, plus you look forward to engaging in reliability work. Let's sort out a great way to describe what we do, along with why it's important. This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 11 February 2020.

Creating Effective Reliability Graphics podcast episode When you pass' a standard-based test, what does that mean? How can you use test results meaningfully besides just noting the product passed'? Understanding the failure mechanisms at play, along with the statistics, is key. Military standards, GEIA, IEEE, ANSI, etc, provide detailed test procedures for a wide variety of situations. I have yet to find a standard test procedure detailing the specific materials and failure mechanisms the test applies to. One might exist. I've just missed it. Just because seven prototypes survived 168 hours of 85%RH at 85°C and thus passed' the test, does that mean anything useful as we attempt to determine if our product is reliable or not? Of course, if one or more prototype fails and we don't pass' the test, what does that mean? What have we learned from such testing? Let's explore the use of testing based on a standard. Sure, it is often required by customers and commonplace in our industries, so let's understand what passing/failing suggests about our reliability. Also, when purchasing a piece of equipment and it lists 15 standards that it meets, here are a few questions to ask about that testing. All standards are flawed, but some are useful (to restate a famous phrase about modeling). Let's sort out how to glean the useful elements and avoid the pitfalls. The use of standards facilitates communication between organizations. It is only useful if all concerned fully understand the meaning of the results.

Fundamentals of the Cost of Unreliability podcast episode When a product or system fails, there is a consequence. Often, there is a loss of value. Each warranty replacement costs money. Downtime may result in lost revenue. Do you know the full extent of the costs involved when something fails? Remember your customer is using your solution for the value it creates for them. If your product fails, your customer does not achieve the expected value. They may also incur other harm. The cost of a failure, the cost of unreliability, starts to include the costs internal and external to your organization. Warranty is just one element of the costs. Let's consider the most expensive aspect of your reliability program. It's not testing. From lost engineering time, wasted production capacity, and eroded brand value to real losses at the customer's business, the costs of a failure add up. Understanding the full costs helps to provide a balance in all aspects of decision-making when creating a product or system. This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 8 October 2019.

Creating Effective Reliability Graphics podcast episode Graphics, when used well, can convey easy-to-understand information. Reliability graphics may focus on trends in failure rates or the verification of improvement work. Often, reliability graphics convey time-to-failure patterns. Pareto Diagrams, dot plots, and measles charts help you and others grasp what the data has to say. Cumulative distribution function plots and mean cumulative function plots likewise provide insights into reliability performance. One of the first things I learned about data analysis was to create a plot, another, and another. Let the data show you what needs attention and further analysis. Subtle shifts in the construction of a plot may hide or reveal critical information. A well-constructed graphic both answers questions and prompts further inquiry. When done well, a graphic can reveal the information or tell a story. When done well, a reliability graphic can signal a change in failure rate, the impact of a design or process change, or an unwanted change in maintenance practices. Let's explore a few basic reliability graphics and the overall approach that helps you master the creation of meaningful and valuable data displays. Creating a basic plot of easy, and creating a great graphic does take skill, which you can master with practice. This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 10 September 2019.
