Reliability Engineering In Automotive Component Manufacturing Industry - Process and Case Study Using Weibull++ and BlockSim

Reliability engineering has become an important element of the new product development process. In the present Indian industry scenario of globalization, it is necessary to predict the reliability of new products and provide assurance to the original equipment manufacturers during the product development period. The multi-national and Indian automobile manufacturers demand reliability prediction of new components being developed in India as part of their sourcing development process. In this presentation, the methodology successfully followed for this purpose for a new automobile component will be explained through an example. For this purpose, ReliaSoft's Weibull++ and BlockSim software are being utilised to get faster, more accurate results.
