Reliability Engineering during Design, with Adam Bahret (A Chat with Cross-Functional Experts)

Adam Bahret and Dianna Deeney talk about engineering with reliability: ways to work with REs during new product development.

Choose Reliability Goals for Modules

We have a reliability target for our system. But we’re not meeting it. To avoid this scenario, what is something we can do in early development? When we’re figuring out our concept, we can better learn about our options. We can work with Reliability Engineers to understand what we know, the risk in what we…

Start a System Architecture Diagram Early

We talk about ways to use a very simple System Architecture Diagram early in development to help us choose where to direct our attention first when starting with a new concept.

How to Handle Competing Failure Modes

If we’re not careful with or ignore failure modes, we can choose the wrong reliability model or statistical distribution. If our product performance is close to the required limits and/or we need a very accurate model, this could be a big problem. We talk about the importance of failure modes and step-through a tensile-test example…
