Design for Reliability: Best Practices
and Lessons Learned
In today's highly competitive world
market, it is crucial to deliver highly reliable products fast and
at low cost. The old, traditional reliability practices, such as
reliability prediction, burn-in/ESS or reliability demonstration,
are not effective or cost efficient for today's products and market.
Reliability must be designed in and built into a product from the
very beginning of the product development cycle. This session will
present a suite of Design-for-Reliability (DFR) best practices to
deliver reliable products faster and cheaper. These best practices
include robust design and fault prevention techniques (probabilistic
margin design, stress analysis, and derating design), fault
discovery and removal techniques (FMEA/FTA, HALT/HASS, and SCA
analysis) and fault tolerance design techniques. These techniques
will be embedded into a product development process. The lessons
learned in the author's engineering practice will also be presented.
