Appropriate Uses of Reliability Predictions

Abstract

Andre and Fred discuss the appropriate uses of a reliability prediction. The common methods are not to predict future field reliability performance.

Key Points

Join Andre and Fred as they discuss the inability of handbooks to accurately predict field reliability. There are a few valid uses of reliability prediction using the parts count prediction models. Being clear when and why your are using a specific method will help you use the method correctly.

Topics include:

• Using field failure rates from your field data as basis for predictions
• Using prediction tools to compare design concepts
• Using predictions to encourage better design practices

Enjoy an episode of Speaking of Reliability. Where you can join friends as they discuss reliability topics. Join us as we discuss topics ranging from design for reliability techniques, to field data analysis approaches.
