How Do we Set Reliability Requirements?
Abstract
Chris and Carl discuss a listener question on FMEA RPN and connection to reliability requirements.
Key Points
Join Chris and Carl as they discuss RPN is not a reliability metric and there are better ways to do allocation to set requirements.
Topics include:
- Multiplying severity, occurrence, and detection does not provide a valid risk value.
- A misunderstanding of critical analysis and the use of failure rates, which are not required
- Reliability requirements should precede FMEA based on customer and business needs and expectations.
