Reliability Growth Planning and Management Resources
Tools
QuART ER (Enhancing Reliability)
This 2011 release features more than two dozen new or improved tools over QuART PRO. QuART ER updates more than 10 tools and adds more than 15 new tools to the tool set available in QuART PRO, including the “Ask a Quanterion Expert” function that allows users to direct their reliability questions to an ASQ-certified reliability expert at Quanterion.
Nonelectronic Parts Reliability Data – NPRD-2023
The 2023 Edition of the Nonelectronic Parts Reliability Data publication (NPRD-2023) is available through ROADS! presents field failure rate data on a wide variety of mechanical and electromechanical parts and assemblies. The parts cover ground, airborne and naval environments. NPRD-2023 adds 300,000 new failure rate records and 13,000 new components compared to its predecessor.
Learn more and access NPRD-2023 through ROADS.
Electronic Parts Reliability Data – EPRD-2024
Harness the power of electronic parts component data for efficient and effective MTBFs, FMEAs, and more. The brand-new Electronic Parts Reliability Data (EPRD-2024) resource contains 1.2 million field failure rate data records of commercial and military electronic components and assemblies for use in reliability analyses.
Learn more and access EPRD-2024 through ROADS.
Failure Mode / Mechanism Distributions – FMD-2016
This databook contains field failure mode and mechanism distribution data on a variety of electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical parts and assemblies. This data can be used to assist in the performance of reliability analyses and assessments such as Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA).
Learn more and access FMD through ROADS.
Reliability Online Automated Databook System (ROADS)
The Reliability Online Automated Databook System (ROADS) is a subscription that provides customized access to all the Quanterion Databooks: Nonelectronic Parts Reliability Data (NPRD), Electronic Parts Reliability Data (EPRD) and/or Failure Modes / Mechanisms Distribution (FMD).

Publications
Reliability Growth
Reliability growth is the improvement in a product’s reliability that results from the elimination or mitigation of the root causes of an item’s identified failure modes.” Stated another way: “Reliability growth is the improvement in a reliability parameter over a period of time due to changes in the product design or in operation, maintenance and manufacturing practices caused by the successful identification and correction of deficiencies in an item’s design or manufacture.”

Achieving System Reliability Growth Through Robust Design and Test
This book offers new definitions of how failures can be characterized, and how those new definitions can be used to develop metrics that will quantify how effective a Design for Reliability (DFR) process is in (1) identifying failure modes and (2) mitigating their root failure causes.

System Reliability Toolkit-V
This fifth toolkit in the popular series developed by Quanterion reflects the updated focus in RMQSI. Several of the same Quanterion staff members have been involved in all five titles in the series. Over 30 new topics have been added, and several others updated, with a minimum removal of topics from the “System Reliability Toolkit.” In addition, Appendices have been added stressing the practical application of the document’s practices throughout a program’s life.
Reliability Toolkit: Commercial Practices Edition
The “Reliability Toolkit: Commercial Practices Edition” helps both the commercial and military sectors deal with developing and manufacturing reliable products in today’s competitive markets. Over 80 topics, representing every aspect of a product’s reliability over its life cycle, have been well received by thousands of Toolkit users to date.
NOTE: The “Reliability Toolkit: Commercial Practices Edition” was published in 1995. It has been updated twice since publication with the latest version, “System Reliability Toolkit-V”.
Practical Applications of the RIAC System Reliability Toolkit
The purpose of this publication is to provide illustrative examples of the more common mathematical calculations and statistical techniques utilized by reliability engineers in the practical performance of their daily activities. It is intended to be used as a companion to the RIAC “System Reliability Toolkit,” as the foundations of all of the techniques illustrated in this publication are discussed.
