Reliability Engineering Training
Reliability engineering is all about minimizing failures, improving maintenance effectiveness, shortening repair times and meeting customer and organization expectations.
Reliability Engineering is an engineering science devoted to mathematically deducing risks of systems that might fail in a given amount of time, usually expressed as mean time between failures, or, MTBF.
The core elements of what reliability engineers do, include:
- Establishing reliability objectives
- Estimating and measuring reliability performance
- Identifying and eliminating failure mechanisms
- Identifying and minimizing risks associated with achieving reliability objectives
Essentially, reliability engineers need to know two things: what will fail and when will it fail.
Some analysts believe that one of the big advantages of reliability engineering is that is provides business value, which lies in the early detection of possible reliability issues.
When organizations catch a reliability issue at an early stage of the product lifecycle like the design stage, they can greatly minimize future costs by eliminating the need for a significant product redesign after it is already in the market.
Reliability engineering consists of the systematic application of time-honored engineering principles and techniques throughout a product lifecycle making it an essential component of a good Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) program.
Reliability is important in all life aspects. In reliability engineering, the term “reliable” refers to the ability of a product to perform its intended function.
Mathematically speaking, assuming that an item is performing its intended function at time equals zero, reliability can be defined as the probability that an item will continue to perform its intended function without failure for a specified period of time understated conditions.
Reliability is essential to organizations for quite a few reasons, such as:
- Cost Analysis.Manufacturers may take reliability data and combine it with other cost information to illustrate the cost-effectiveness of their products. This life cycle cost analysis can prove that although the initial cost of a product might be higher, the overall lifetime cost is lower than that of a competitor’s because their product requires fewer repairs or less maintenance.
- A company’s reputation is very closely related to the reliability of its products. The more reliable a product is, the more likely the company is to have a favorable reputation.
- Customer Satisfaction. While a reliable product may not dramatically affect customer satisfaction in a positive manner, an unreliable product will negatively affect customer satisfaction severely. Thus high reliability is a mandatory requirement for customer satisfaction.
- Competitive Advantage.Many companies will publish their predicted reliability numbers to help gain an advantage over their competitors who either do not publish their numbers or have lower numbers.
