Key Points
Join Carl and Fred as they discuss some of the finer points about building a good reliability program. In this case, the company already has a reasonably solid testing program, but needs to put more effort into reliability in design.
Topics include:
- How to supplement testing with Design for Reliability tasks.
- Consider developing a reliability plan year by year: first year tasks, second year tasks, etc.
- The objective is not to build a large reliability team; the objective should be to implement good reliability practices into the organization.
- Embed reliability into engineering
- We want to create reliability, not jobs
- Look for internal “champions” in senior management.
- Get value from early wins.
- Implementing reliability in design requires building relationships.
- The key to successfully implementing a reliability plan is to involve the key stakeholders in the creation of the plan.
- The reliability plan needs to be executed as part of project management.
- There will be hurdles that come up. The plan needs to be adjusted, as needed.
- Participate in the engineering project team meetings. Be part of the engineering process.
- Reliability looks at system as a whole, in addition to the parts.
- How to influence engineering to create reliable designs. Be engaged.
- Helping engineering establish correct special product and process characteristics that enable high reliability.
