The goal of Reliability Engineering is to achieve products with a predictable life span and defined maintenance intervals and warranty periods with the help of data analytics and artificial intelligence. It’s a discipline that needs to be applied integrally during the whole product lifecycle. Investing in Reliability Engineering minimizes errors, lowers warranty costs, reduces the number of recalls and contributes positively to the image of your product and company. Defining your product's reliability is definitely a big return on your investment.
Create clear, unambiguous and proper measurable reliability requirements based on your customer and company targets on system level, all the way down to the different sub-systems and components. Assure that all users understand the Pass/Fail criteria and the way reliability is measured. Use the requirements for both internal developments and supplier requirements.
Create a statistically supported reliability test plan on both system and component level. This is the shortest and most cost-efficient way to prove that the requirements are met. We help you to select the best testing option for your design, based on risk analysis and the Physics of Failure pertaining to the failure mode. ‘Test to failure’, ‘degradation testing’ or ‘zero failure testing’ are some of the options we can choose from.
What should you do when you discover failures? Is the first failure an incident, or does it warrant an analysis? Weibull Reliability Engineering helps to define the minimally proven reliability by the test or field results, even if failure numbers are very low. In some cases we can do an analysis with zero failures, yet still indicate the root cause and predict field performance. Based on the analysis we can also predict the warranty and service contract periods.
How to make a product with a predictable lifespan? We can support you from ideation to validation and release to volume production, as well as asset management based on field data. From initial requirement settings to reliability modelling, testing and validation.
“Every reliability issue requires a customized approach. It depends on the phase in which the product currently is.”
