Your Reliability Engineering Professional Development Site
Early and often during product development, the team needs to know the expected reliability performance of the current design. The values provide information to make decisions.
We can create meaningful estimates. Or not.

A tolerance specification is how we communicate the allowance for part variation.
Variation happens, and when it is within what we expect, great. Otherwise, quality and reliability issues ensue. Let’s explore how to set tolerances to improve reliability properly.
Let’s understand the process data, stability, and design constraints in an attempt to find a balance to create meaningful tolerances.
