QDD 004 A big failure and too many causes? Try this analysis.

A big failure and too many causes? Try this analysis.

We have identified a failure of our design. It’s a complicated failure that has multiple potential root causes, and some that are conditional. Is there a tool that can capture it all and help us prioritize our reactions to get rid of this problem? Yes, there is: Fault Tree Analysis!

Learn what it is and how it can help us get a handle on that big failure:

  • all of our causes are mapped out in a visual diagram
  • we can identify cut sets
  • we can see where to prioritize resources where its best to eliminate or reduce causes

Fundamentals of Design for Reliability

Fundamentals of Design for Reliability

Fundamentals of Design for Reliability

podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg

DFR has been a term in and out of fashion for some time—one of the many DFX type programs. DFR, unlike some of the other Design for X programs, has to exist within the overall culture of the organization to be successful. The premise that design occurs at the point of decision implies that each design may have the appropriate information to consider the decision’s impact on reliability performance properly.

QDD 003 Why Your Design Inputs Need to Include Quality & Reliability

QDD 003 Why Your Design Inputs Need to Include Quality & Reliability

Why Your Design Inputs Need to Include Quality & Reliability

You’re nearing the end of your project, getting cross-functional approval on your design, when your QE or RE friend comes running with a big, red STOP button! Let’s avoid that!

Quality and Reliability are INPUTS into the design process, much earlier than by the time we have a prototype in-hand (even at the black-box, input-output phase). Getting the QEs and REs involved early will help your design be a success with suppliers, manufacturers, and your cross-functional team.

MD 155 Considerations on How to Effectively Bring Technology into an Organization with George Williams

In this episode, we are switching directions and instead of looking at the technology, we focus on people and processes to help bring these technologies in and most importantly, get the desired value from them.

In this week’s episode on the Technology Innovation series of Maintenance Disrupted, I talk with George Williams at ReliabiltyX to get his thoughts and recommendation as a reliability practitioner and now an advisor and consultant on what he has seen work and not work when companies bring in new technologies. From developing the initial business case mapped to the company objective to the behavior changes needed, George provides sound advice to anyone considering bring new technology to their maintenance and reliability initiatives.
