Looking Forward with Reliability Engineering
podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg
One of the things I like about reliability engineering is the field has a stable set of tools and approaches with an ever-changing set of challenges. The process of conducting an FMEA or Root Cause Analysis hasn’t changed much over time. Meanwhile, with the advent of new designs, materials, assembly techniques, and higher customer expectations, we continue to face interesting problems.
Let’s look into a crystal ball, follow a few trends, and discuss the future of reliability engineering. Let’s also take a look at the idea of what guides our day-to-day work, which is to add value. Consider that we add value by influencing decisions. So what are those decisions, and how can we provide the right information and insights so the right decision is made more often than not?
What would happen if we understood the question facing decision-makers? What if we organized our skills around answering questions instead of around techniques? We might select the appropriate tools more often and increase our ability to influence decisions, thus adding value.
