Accelerated Life Testing Methodologies to Ensure Reliable Product Launch

Executing a robust reliability plan was instrumental in identifying product shortcomings which prevented a suspect product from customer use. Leveraging new industry techniques, including Calibrated Accelerated Life Testing (supported by General Motors' Larry Edson) and long-term life testing, precipitated failure mechanisms unexpected by the design team. The testing results were interwoven into the project development effort to produce a reliable, robust product that the end customer can confidently use.

This presentation will show case study examples of quantitative reliability predictions based upon accelerated testing and demonstrates that leveraging strategic, intelligent reliability testing early in the product development cycle will help ascertain product shortcomings. When these shortcomings are addressed and the redesigned product is re-tested, the confidence in the reliability of that product is very high.

Key Words: Accelerated Life Testing, Calibrated Accelerated Life Tests, Robust Product Development, Quantitative Reliability Predictions
