Process Capability, Tolerance, and Reliability podcast episode Product failures may occur due to material or component variability. The steel in a bracket is more brittle than optimal, or the capacitance is on the low side of an acceptable range. Designing a product with variation in mind enables the creation of a reliable product. If there were no variation in material properties, component performance, or assembly techniques, products would work as designed. There is variation. Everything varies. Designers and engineers know this and must consider the expected variation of the elements that make up the product. Ideally, the design team would work with materials and components with well-characterized process capabilities. This knowledge partly permits the establishment of design specifications for the various elements that make up a product. Including tolerances with a design is this deliberate accounting for the expected or required maximum variation. The problems come when a designer establishes tolerances when the supporting processes cannot create items within the specified tolerances. The materials and components we use do not read the specifications. They have the variability they have regardless of wishful thinking or specifications. Creating a truly reliable product requires the design to balance functional performance, manufacturability, and robustness to variation. In this short webinar, let's talk about how process capability should influence designs such that the resulting product is reliable. Let's discuss the reliability engineer’s role in understanding and minimizing process variability while encouraging the design team to establish a robust design with as much variation as possible. Finding the right balance is essential to creating a product that is both producible and durable. Leave your concerns, questions, and experience with tolerancing.

Fundamentals of Stress Screening podcast episode Stress screening, highly accelerated stress screening, and burn-in are expensive activities to avoid. Yet stress screening does have a valuable purpose in specific circumstances. Let's talk about when and why you may conduct stress screening. The environment is the weather around your product, yet what about the local environment for the power supply within your product? Does the environmental set of stresses change over time? Do the stresses of assembly, transport, storage, or use pose significant risks leading to failure? Screening of any sort is expensive. It is also prone to error. It is best avoided. Yet there are instances when screening, inspecting items in some fashion to determine suitability, adherence to specification, or sorting is the appropriate course of action. Adding stress adds cost and complexity to the process. It can quickly expose flaws, hidden defects, or imperfections. The selection of the stress is important. Selecting the wrong type and amount of stress may not hasten the objective or damage all of your screened items. Let's talk about stress screening, including why it is such a poor practice and why it should be avoided or stopped as soon as possible. Let's also discuss how to properly design and run a stress screening process, including how to select the appropriate stress, the amount of stress, the different ways to apply stress, the assumptions, and most importantly, how to avoid needing to stress screen in the first place. Bring your concerns, questions, and experience with stress screening to this discussion.

Fundamentals of Environmental and Use Conditions podcast episode A complete reliability goal statement element involves a product's environment and use conditions. The ability to define these clearly during the design process is not always easy, yet a valuable addition to your reliability program. The environment is the weather around your product, yet what about the local environment for the power supply within your product? Does the environmental set of stresses change over time? Do the stresses of assembly, transport, storage, or use pose significant risks leading to failure? Also important is how often and how the customer uses the product. Are there different failure mechanisms posing a risk of failure when a product is not used often versus used often? Let's discuss building an environmental manual for a family of products, including which stresses to include. We'll also discuss connecting data collection efforts to specific failure mechanisms and ways to keep the list of environmental stresses relevant to your newest development efforts. Saying a product I used outdoors or in a computer center may convey the general idea. Yet, your design team, vendors, and your life testing work require understanding with sufficient detail where and how the product is likely to find itself in operation. Bring your questions, and let's discuss understanding the environment and use conditions that impact your product’s performance in your customers’ hands. This is more than just a batch of environmental tests and is much more useful.

Fundamentals of Sample Size Determination podcast episode A common question about reliability testing is, What is the sample size? It is also a difficult question to answer well. The right sample size balances cost, accuracy, and variability. In some cases, we also consider the time to results. When planning reliability testing, an important task is to determine the necessary sample size. Too few samples and the results will be indistinguishable from statistical noise. Too many samples and the cost of testing becomes more than necessary. Understanding the basics of sample size calculations for various situations and approaches permits you to quickly estimate the right sample size given the information you have available. The first estimate often leads to discussions concerning the constraints, goals, and striking the right balance of samples and outcomes. Let's discuss the many challenges and solutions available for sample size determination. We'll examine a few situations, formulas, and best practices to determine the right sample size for each situation. Sample size starts as a statistical exercise and becomes a business/project conversation. Learning to determine sample size is a critical skill for reliability professionals.

Fundamentals of Weibull Analysis podcast episode The Weibull distribution is a versatile tool to analyze time-to-failure data. Like any tool, it could be wielded well or not so well. In this short webinar, let's discuss when and why you would use Weibull analysis, the basic process, and its limitations. Weibull analysis is very popular and has become a generic term for life data analysis. It is useful, has some nice features, and is easy to interpret. Yet, it has a dark side as well. Let's talk about the basic use of the distribution, when not to use it, and how to know when better tools are available. A great first step when faced with a pile of data is to plot it. Look at the data and get a sense of what story the data may have to tell. Another early step in any data analysis is to detail what question you are trying to answer. Are you looking for problems that you then can solve? Are you trying to understand the reliability performance of your product? Or something else? Let's discuss the fundamentals of Weibull analysis, including the basic approach, when and why you would do such an analysis, and some problems that may arise. The idea is to help you understand this tool well enough to wield it confidently as you identify and solve reliability questions.

Fundamentals of Hazard Analysis podcast episode Some products and systems are just dangerous, inherently. Understanding inherent safety-related risks permits a team to design out or mitigate those risks. Hazard analysis is the systematic process of identifying and controlling safety risks. Let's discuss hazard analysis’s basic definition(s), including the range of industries and standards involved. Plus, let's review the basic approach to accomplish the analysis. It should be obvious that understanding safety risks permits your team to deal with those risks meaningfully. The common mitigation or control approaches include design changes, fail-safe responses, early warning capability, and training (as a last resort). Like an FMEA, hazard analysis creates a prioritized list of action items. Instead of minimizing failures and the consequences of those failures, hazard analysis focuses on safety-related risks, particularly those that are designed into the system or product (inherent). This includes foreseeable misuse and abuse of the system. Conducting a hazard analysis may not be the primary role of a reliability engineer, yet the advent of failures of safety-related consequences certainly is part of reliability. Working closely with your entire team, including those focused on safety, can provide additional means to improve the right reliability performance and keep customers safe.

Fundamentals of Cost of Poor Reliability podcast episode I define a reliability failure as something that costs your organization money. It might be a warranty expense or a lost customer. A failure may also create customer expenses, too. Let's talk about the range of un-reliability costs and their impacts. Consider the impact of a product failure. What are the expenses to you, your organization, your customers, and society? Consider which costs of poor reliability your organization considers and which matters. Like the Taguchi Loss Function or the cost of poor quality, the cost of poor reliability is far larger than a warranty expense. Yet, many organizations do not consider nor quantify the impact on their customers and society. Sure, some industries do, yet does yours? Let's discuss the different types of costs of poor quality and how you can estimate these costs. Also, let's discuss how you can use this information to inform design, supply chain, and manufacturing decisions. Making a good decision partly hinges on having the appropriate information. The cost of poor reliability should be part of your organization's decision. From component selection to strategic positioning of a product line, reliability performance and the impact of failures matter. Understanding this concept and estimating and communicating the cost of poor reliability will improve the decision-making across your organization concerning product reliability performance.

Fundamentals of Root Cause Analysis podcast episode The ability to determine the root cause of a failure is a skill. It requires agility, leadership, inquisitiveness, diligence, and technical skill. Successful RCA taps into your creativity and technical prowess. Using a structured approach helps. There are many challenges when determining the root cause of a failure the desire to find and implement a solution quickly. Or the lack of resources and equipment being immediately available. Let's discuss the common challenges and a few ideas for solving or avoiding these obstacles. Keeping in mind that some symptoms may mask or share underlying failure mechanisms. Understanding the underlying physics, chemistry, code, and interactions may present a challenge. Creating hypotheses allows for a structured scientific approach to gaining a fundamental understanding of a problem. Sometimes, a good enough understanding is all you can manage. Let's discuss when you have sufficient understanding of a failure mechanism to implement a solution. There are theatrical and empirical approaches, along with a bit of creativity, that can help you efficiently conduct RCA. Overall, a great method to address both the interpersonal and technical challenges is a structured approach to RCA. One method, there are many, is called 8 Disciplines.

Fundamentals of Reliability Performance Monitoring Monitoring reliability performance requires both measurement and reporting skills. Focusing on making decisions, we can tailor our metrics to improve our reliability program today. The right measures allow your team to spot problems and solve them. Your customers measure the reliability of your products every time they use your product. The measure is often ad hoc and creates an experienced-based impression of your product's reliability. If you want to improve your customer's impression of your product's reliability, you have to understand and monitor the reliability performance of your product. Some reliability measures are forward-looking, and some look back at what has occurred. None are perfect, yet many are useful for specific situations or classes of decisions. If the cost of unreliability is of concern, creating estimates of expected repairs and spares may provide insights into the current design decisions. Tracking the actual occurrence of repairs along with spare use provides feedback on your estimation process, plus helps you identify unexpected usage, possibly signaling a previously unknown problem to solve. Let's explore a range of reliability and maintainability measures, including when and how they can help you solve problems and improve your product and program.

A Review of the 2018 ASQ CRE Body of Knowledge The new CRE body of knowledge goes into effect in January 2018. With the additions, deletions, and changes to topics, it attempts to reflect what reliability engineering does daily. Let's closely examine the new 2018 BOK and what it means. With 13 topics partially or fully removed (like tolerance analysis and derating), in part, the new BOK suggested a smaller role in the design for reliability process. Some topics are good to see diminished, especially those that reinforce MTBF use. On the other hand, the additional topics, such as leadership responsibility, are long overdue. While other additions, such as the quality triangle, make me wonder what inspired that vague topic. The new emphasis on risk management is in line with the sweeping change in ISO standards, so it was expected. Let's talk about the changes, including: What it means for those preparing for the exam, What does the emphasis on risk management mean for our day-to-day work and What it suggests about the discipline of reliability engineering in today's world.
