Track 3 Session 10
9:10 to 10:10 a.m. Thursday June 19, 2008
Managing Reliability Success with Vendors
on Large Scale Projects
What Design for Reliability (DFR)
practices, methods and contracts are needed by systems integrators
or when multiple vendors and contractors are used to design and
build parts of the whole? How do you ensure reliability growth of
the whole when you have limited control over the reliability activity of
the subs? In this session, we will present guidelines and experience from large
programs, such as the Apollo program, the Space Shuttle, etc. and
what we have learned from large multi-corporation defense projects.
We will present contract content needed to achieve early system
reliability commitment and contract content necessary to augment
vendor’s design practices. In the case of the Apollo program, all
contracts contained specific clauses relating to qualification
tests. In commercial programs, not every contract requires DFMEA to be
performed. Better methods are proposed to help decide which programs
must and which should not have DFR, DFMEA, HALT, ALT, FRACAS or
DVP&R required.
