Your Reliability Engineering Professional Development Site
Institute of Quality and Reliability (IQR) was established in Nov. 2005, with primary objective to help Industries for improving their quality and business performance. IQR also supports individuals aspiring to improve their knowledge and skills in Quality and Reliability.
This article series (videos) is dedicated to all those who want to learn and contribute to quality and reliability improvement to make this world better! Videos are created by Hemant Urdhwareshe and team. Hemant is a Fellow of American Society for Quality (ASQ) and is certified by ASQ as Six Sigma Master Black Belt, Reliability Engineer (CRE), Quality Manager (CMQ/OE) and Quality Engineer (CQE). He has 42 years of experience and wants to share his knowledge and experience with those who wish to acquire it!
Dear friends, this is a quick overview of the Design for Relliability (DFR) strategy.
For details of the tools and techniques shown in the video, we are providing links to our videos Links to some related videos:

Dear friends, we are happy to release our 90th technical video! In this video, Hemant Urdhwareshe, Fellow of American Society for Quality (ASQ), explains the various functions in reliability mathematics. Hemant has explained Probability Density Function (PDF), Cumulative Failure Distribution Function (CDF), Reliability Function and the Hazard Function. Hemant has also briefly explained the mathematical derivations of these functions as well as their relationships. In addition, the video includes an application example of estimating B02 life when the hazard function is known. The video is little long, so viewers are requested to be patient and watch the complete video. This will be very useful in preparing for the Certified Reliability Engineer Exam conducted by ASQ.

Dear friends, I am happy to release this video on Introduction to Robust Design. In this video, I have briefly explained the philosophy of robust design which was originally created by Dr.Genichi Taguchi. It includes Taguchi’s definition of quality, the quality loss function, Signal to Noise Ratios (SN Ratio), Parameter Diagram, Steps in Robust Design, and an illustration of calculation of SN ratio.

Dear friends, we are happy to release this 85th video in our channel ‘Institute of Quality and Reliability’! In this video, Hemant Urdhwareshe has explained the concept of statistical tolerancing tolerance stack-up! Conventional Extreme Value Analysis (EVA) can result in increased manufacturing costs! Statistical tolerancing is more optimistic method of analysing tolerances and can reduce manufacturing costs! Concepts of loop diagram, additivity of variances are also explained briefly in the video with a practical application case study of tolerance stack-up analysis.
