Reliability Engineering Terms – Lifetime Extension Assessment

December 16th, 2021

 

Lifetime Extension Assessment
What is Lifetime Extension Assessment?
Military and industrial products and systems may be required to operate or function significantly longer than what they were originally designed for (years, miles, cycles, etc.). Lifetime Extension Assessment addresses the potential risks and possible solutions associated with extending the lives of products, systems and processes.
What’s the payoff?
Informed decisions…  Read More

Reliability Engineering Terms – Quality Management

November 16th, 2021

What is Quality Management?
Quality management is a broad term used to describe those activities that are beneficial in building quality products. Other associated terms historically associated with this concept are Total Quality Management (TQM), Statistical Process Control (SPC), etc. The philosophies of Deming, Juran, Taguchi and others are part of this class of activities, as…  Read More

Reliability Engineering Terms – Fault Tree Analysis

September 9th, 2021

What is Fault Tree Analysis?
Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a “top down” assessment of how a product or system failure (or other “undesired event”) can occur based on the behavior of lower-level functions, assemblies, parts, software, and human behavior.  The undesired event is evaluated through a set of intermediary fault states that, if present, would…  Read More

Weibull Analysis Resources

Weibull Analysis Three-Day Training
Why do you need to take this course?
Weibull analysis is the starting point to problem-solving for most production reliability and maintainability issues. If you are an engineer, manager or engineering student, you will need to understand basic failure distributions, reliability engineering math, analyses, and data comparisons. Quanterion’s Weibull Analysis course…  Read More

Reliability Engineering Terms – Weibull Analysis

August 26th, 2021

What is Weibull Analysis?
Weibull Analysis is a statistical analysis that is used to determine reliability characteristics and trends from field and/or test failure data. It allows decisions to be made based on a limited amount of data. The Weibull distribution can be fit to datasets exhibiting an increasing, decreasing, or constant failure rate, a unique…  Read More
