Fundamentals of Regression Analysis

By Fred Schenkelberg

October 14, 2025 / 9am Pacific Time

Most of us are familiar with the data analysis method called regression analysis. Maybe not familiar enough in some cases. The analysis allows us to identify and model trends or relationships. For example, we might examine the relationship between the speed of a production line and the number of out-of-spec items.

While regression analysis is a common method that many of us use regularly, understanding some of the limitations and options can enhance our analysis insights and accuracy. Understanding the assumptions and how to test them is a fundamental skill worth mastering.

Let’s explore a few of the limitations, checks, and options when taking a look at some data. From checking assumptions to assessing the goodness of fit, and a quick exploration of various approaches beyond simple linear regression.

(Parts Count) Reliability Prediction (is awful)

By Chris Jackson

October 28, 2025 /8am Pacific Time

Isn’t reliability prediction a very important part of what reliability engineers should do? Shouldn’t we want to (for example) predict the improvement in warranty reliability a design change will make? Well … yes! But then there is ‘parts count reliability prediction.’ As is the case for lots of reliability engineering terms, there are phrases that are used to describe very specific types of concepts. And ‘parts count reliability prediction’ is awful. And in this webinar, we will explain why … using dogs! If this intrigues you … see you there!

Forget Human Error. Focus on this instead…

By Aaron Cross

October 10, 2025 /8am Pacific Time

We are all human and therefore must acknowledge that as humans, we are prone to making mistakes. Labeling a problem simply as a case of “Human Error” is self-evident and shortsighted. Most concerning is that it misleads you from the ultimate purpose of your investigation. Instead, we are stuck with generic action items such as “Don’t mess up,” “Be more careful,” or “Follow the procedure” that do little to reduce risk. If you have seen any of these as an output from an investigation then you are all too familiar with this shortcoming. During this webinar, we will challenge some of the conventional methods used to investigate human error that tend to focus on the human condition and leave you little to work with. Instead, we will demonstrate what to focus on during your investigation so that you can improve reliability in spite of the fact that we as humans err.

Measuring What Matters–Analytical Strategies for Clean & Reliable Electronic

By Adam Klett Ph.D.

October 29, 2025 / 1-2pm Pacific Time

Free for members / $25 non-members

Ensuring the reliability of electronic assemblies requires rigorous assessment of surface cleanliness and contamination. The shift to requiring “objective evidence” has put the burden on the manufacturer to prove their process is capable of producing reliable products. This presentation reviews three principal analytical techniques, Surface Insulation Resistance (SIR), Resistivity of Solvent Extract (ROSE), and Ion Chromatography (IC), commonly employed in electronics manufacturing. SIR provides a quantitative evaluation of electrical resistance to detect ionic residues that may compromise circuit reliability. ROSE offers a rapid, semi-quantitative method for assessing overall ionic contamination via solvent extraction. IC enables precise identification and measurement of specific ionic species, supporting compliance with industry cleanliness standards. The strengths, limitations, and practical applications of each method are discussed, along with how to use the data to develop a qualification compliant with the current IPC standard. Also, a brief overview of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) as a complementary tool for molecular analysis will be covered. Understanding these techniques is essential for optimizing cleaning processes and providing the objective evidence required to ensure long-term reliability in electronic products.

From Risk to Reliability: Detecting LDPE Reactor Bearing Faults Before Downtime

By Michael Hastings

October 30, 2025 / 7am Pacific Time

Low density polyethylene (LDPE) plays a dominant role in the packaging industry. Many LDPE products are made by the high-pressure ethylene autoclave process (free-radical polymerization), where the ethylene reactor mixer is the critical machine used for the polymerization.

Managing this asset’s life-cycle costs is a challenge, as expensive downtime not only results from prematurely failing components of the reactor, but also from the process itself. Decomposition (decomp) can occur if the mixing, temperature, pressure and organic peroxides and comonomers and other modifiers are not properly balanced during polymerization. During decomp, the ethylene and polyethylene decomposes into H2 and CH4, which are highly explosive. Decomp can also occur if faulty bearings create a hotspot or affect the stirring action. Failed bearings are dangerous because metal particles can block the LDPE outlet channels. Bearings can prematurely fail because of the harsh environment, such as by deposits inside the bearing. Fortunately, it is possible to effectively monitor the condition of the bearings.

This webinar covers three individual case studies of monitoring defect reactor bearings. This proves that an effective condition monitoring solution with the proper monitoring techniques is an absolute imperative for this type of machine.

Facilitating and Documenting a Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

By Mark Galley

October 31, 2025 / 8am Pacific Time

A problem in your business can be thought of as an “information knot.” Different people from different departments each know part of the problem. A facilitator collects and organizes all the details in an incident. They essentially untangle the knot to provide a complete explanation of what happened and why. Sometimes people think of a facilitator as the person who leads meetings, but a root cause analysis facilitator manages the entire investigation process. An effective facilitator provides clarity. A facilitation starts from the time an incident occurs and continues through the analysis and documentation, to the implementation of solutions and the communication of lessons learned. This webinar explains the basics of facilitation and the role it plays in understanding and preventing problems in your business.
