Reliability Engineering Training
Reliability engineering is a term used to describe the ability of a component or system to meet certain performance standards over a certain period of time, assuming normal operating conditions.
Experts in this field believe reliability engineering activity should be an ongoing process starting at the conceptual phase of a product design and continuing throughout all phases of a product lifecycle. The goal needs to be to identify potential reliability problems as early as possible in the product lifecycle.
Reliability engineering helps organizations quantify product quality by adding the dimension of time to the quality equation. In other words, reliability engineering is about more than knowing whether a product can perform its intended function at the moment of purchase.
Instead, reliability engineering focuses on making sure that the product works without major malfunctions under normal conditions for as long as possible.
Reliability engineering does not only help organizations produce more reliable products, but it also informs maintenance teams on how to maintain them to increase MTBF (mean time between failures) and asset life span.
Reliability engineering deals with the prediction, prevention and management of high levels of “lifetime” engineering uncertainty and risks of failure. Although stochastic parameters define and affect reliability, reliability is not only achieved by mathematics and statistics.
The objectives of reliability engineering include:
- To apply engineering knowledge and specialist techniques to prevent or to reduce the likelihood or frequency of failures.
- To identify and correct the causes of failures that do occur despite the efforts to prevent them.
- To determine ways of coping with failures that do occur, if their causes have not been corrected.
- To apply methods for estimating the likely reliability of new designs, and for analyzing reliability data.
Using a reliability engineering approach has many benefits for organizations, such as an increase in production. Using reliability engineering techniques can minimize the time and resource impact of run-in or burn-in operations.
Eliminating or minimizing the time we reduce inventory carrying costs, tooling costs, and energy requirements.
Reliability engineering can also reduce unanticipated failures, which cost time for customers and reduced profit for companies.
Reliability has also proven effective at reducing a system’s throughput by minimizing downtime, which can be improved by applying predictive and preventative maintenance throughput.
