I want to tell you that I have gone through many webinars on Accendo Reliability and found them very useful. I am new to Reliability Engineering and very keen to learn it and apply it in my organization. — Ankur Sharma

Alternatives to a Long ALT
Scheduled for January 14, 2025, at 9 am US Pacific time.
Speaker: Fred Schenkelberg
Life testing a product or component, at times, involves months and months of testing. Even accelerated life testing can take a long time, given the limitation on our ability to cause the proper acceleration for meaningful results. So, what is one to do if waiting 3 months for test results is unacceptable?
Let’s explore a few alternatives along with the pros and cons. We examine using our knowledge and the knowledge of others to streamline the testing or avoid it altogether. We also need to consider why we need to estimate life in the first place. Sometimes, estimating the life of something is not all that useful or valuable.

We like to think that we make decisions based on the information we have available to us. We don’t. We instead make decisions based on emotions. And the most dominant emotion we rely upon when making a decision is confidence. You can have all the information in the world, but if you don’t understand it, don’t trust it, or otherwise don’t believe in it, then you won’t have the confidence to make the right decision. And we often try and generate ‘false’ confidence by having lots of clauses in contracts, schedule lots of tests, and demand people comply with standards. But the confidence these things create is a façade that quickly gets broken down when our products don’t meet our expectations. Want to understand the only way you should be generating confidence when it comes to reliability engineering? Join us for this webinar!

Wanted to let everyone new to these live events to know that the presentation is scheduled for an hour but afterwards there is always very good discussion. So if you can set aside an extra 15 to 30 minutes afterwards to listen in and contribute. I noticed today that Fred turned off the recording at the one hour mark so the discussion is only available in the live event and not in the recorded version.
Hi Bert, thanks for the comment. I did shut down the recording as I was pretty quiet on the question front. Then Chris did get a few more questions prompting more discussion. Guess it is good reason to make the live event – and a lesson for me to keep recording… cheers, Fred
