Reliability from Product Design Inception
to Product Retirement
This tutorial outlines a
cohesive structure for reliability testing throughout a product's
life cycle. In this structure, the design of each successive test is
based on analysis, expert opinion, past data obtained from similar
products in the field, and data from earlier tests. The appropriate
location and use of 1) Over Stress Tests, 2) Design Reviews, 3)
FMEAs, 4) Reliability System Analysis, 5) Accelerated Life Tests, 6)
Real Time Life Tests, 7) Reliability Growth Tests, 8) Burn-In, 9)
Environmental Stress Screens and 10) Statistical Process Control are
discussed. Finally, field failures and the steps necessary to insure
that the resulting engineering change orders yield improved
reliability are covered.
Key Words: Reliability
Testing, Product Life Cycle
