Fundamentals of the Cost of Unreliability

By Fred Schenkelberg

October 8, 2019 / 9am Pacific Time

When a product or system fails there is a consequence. Often there is a loss of value. A warranty replacement costs money. Downtime may result in lost revenue. Do you know the full extent of the costs involved when something fails?

Remember your customer is using your solution for the value it creates for them. If your product fails, your customer does not achieve the expected value. They may also incur other harm.

The cost of a failure, the cost of unreliability, starts includes the costs internal and external to your organization. Warranty is just one element of the costs.

Let’s consider the most expensive aspect of your reliability program. It’s not testing. From lost engineering time, wasted production capacity, eroded brand value, to real losses at the customer’s business, the costs of a failure add up. Understanding the full costs helps to provide a balance in all aspects of decision making when creating a product or system.

Testing – Techniques and Examples – Structural Integrity

October 10, 2019 / 9am Pacific Time

In the broadest sense, structural integrity is ensured in the design phase by a thorough review of a product’s intended use and foreseeable misuse. Testing is performed for verification as necessary. Materials of construction are typically reviewed to be sure they are appropriate. Manufacturing process controls are developed to ensure that the design intent is met. Documentation for operation, maintenance, and inspection, including appropriate warnings, are developed for users and service personnel.

The emphasis on each of the above areas depends on the application and previous experience. The testing methods utilized for design verification and validation are also critical when it comes to analyzing failures, which makes the content of this webinar appealing to both designers and problem solvers.

The focus of this presentation will be to discuss the different aspects of structural integrity testing and to provide an overview of processes utilized to ensure a successful and safe design, to provide guidance to get it right the first time, avoiding any need for failure analysis.

Evaluation Of Embedded Electronics For Use In Harsh Environments

October 1, 2019 / 6:30-8am Pacific Time

The ongoing trend of miniaturisation in the electronics industry has been focused on the reduction in size of components and component packaging. However, with an inevitable limit due to manufacturing capability, an alternative is required. Device embedded substrates are a promising solution which looks at miniaturisation from a substrate perspective, using a 3D approach to circuit design by placing components into the substrate as well as on the surface. This manufacturing method has been shown to increase circuit density, reduce signal paths, and reduce parasitic capacitances and inductances. Devices containing embedded components are already on the market but have yet to be evaluated fully for use in harsh environments

NPL’s work in this area, in collaboration with the University of Surrey, is looking at the reliability of embedded electronics to evaluate them for use within harsh environments through the creation of a test vehicle which was designed for testing of the reliability of the interconnect structures connecting the components. This is being achieved through the use of NPL’s harsh environment test facilities. The ongoing testing, for example thermal cycling from -55°C to +125°C, will indicate the structure’s suitability for use in harsh environments. Testing will also provide an insight into adaptations required in the standard testing parameters for industry.

Applying the HALT Method to Products Other Than Electronics

By John Paschkewitz

October 9, 2019 / 8:30-10:30am Pacific Time

$200

HALT training and application has focused primarily on electronic products. But, HALT is a methodology, and the basics can be applied to any product and stress. The basic approach to HALT is to apply a single stress in a stepwise manner until an operational limit or destruct limit is reached to find the strength margin of the product relative to that stress. Similarly, other stresses identified can be applied one at a time to find limits. Once the limits are found, an accelerated profile can be determined and the product is then cycled to reveal weaknesses in the design that can be corrected. For electronics, temperature, repetitive shock vibration, and power variation or on/off cycling are typical stresses applied in HALT.

To apply the HALT methodology to non-electronic products, we need to begin with an understanding of the stresses applied to the product and the potential failure mechanisms precipitated. Analysis of the design and application with tools like Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, Finite Element Analysis, or similar approaches help identify the stresses to use in testing the product, component, or assembly. A basic Physics of Failure approach is needed. Both overstress and cumulative damage wear out mechanisms will be discussed.
This 2-hour webinar will look at applying this approach to some electrical and mechanical products to illustrate how the HALT method can help improve the design and reliability of products other than electronics. Although less work has been done to use HALT in these products, there is considerable benefit to applying the HALT methodology.

In this webcast, we’ll look at technologies and best practices associated with asset management in the 21st century.

How Detailed Should a Root Cause Analysis Be?

October 11, 2019 / 10am Pacific Time

Do you want to see the forest or the trees? One of the questions we get often is, “How much detail is enough for my root cause analysis?” If there’s not enough detail, it’s easy to miss important elements within the incident. With too much detail, the investigation will get bogged down with trivial issues – wasting time and frustrating those involved.

Because problems in your organization are different severities, different problems need to be worked at different levels. If your company has a one size fits all approach, you will under analyze some problems and overanalyze others. This webinar will explain how your investigations can begin simple, then expand, as needed, into a more complete explanation to reveal a variety of different solutions options.
