SEP Design Series - Design for Reliability

• Reliability is an expression of the probability that a part or system will function without failure in a defined environment for a designated period of time.
• Example: Computer system X operating at 25 degrees C has a 99% likelihood of functioning for a year without failure.
• Reliability Objective: Design and manufacture product that will continue to function with minimal failures for the intended life of the product.

It also includes information on:

• Reliability
• Availability
• Defect Rate
• What the attributes mean?
• How they are measured?
• How they impact the product performance and the customer?

Who will benefit:

• Manufacturing Process
• Design Process: Long-Term Reliability
• Statistical Process Control (SPC)
