International Applied Reliability Symposium (ARS): An international reliability and maintainability conference event

Session 5
2:30 to 3:25 p.m. Thursday August 18, 2005

Reliability Program in Commercial Environment

Planning a Reliability Program for a commercial product is somewhat more challenging than planning for a government or military regulated contract. The value from incorporating a Reliability Program into commercial development is in the early understanding disciplines to design the reliability into the product. This presentation discusses the methods used at Ingersoll-Rand to create an effective yet cost conscious Reliability Program for the Commercial Environment. The presentation describes a reliability program plan that allows the team to evaluate the reliability of the product early enough in the development cycle to effect timely and cost effective improvements.
