Design for Reliability (DFR)
Designing reliability into a system early in its life-cycle is the most effective means to ensure reliable performance and mission success. It is a well-known metric that the costs to fix a reliability issue for a fielded system is at least ten times more than it is to design the reliability in up-front. This course will provide details on the process for designing reliability into a system, the value provided by accomplishing this goal, and hands-on examples to solidify learning.

The Influence of Reliability, Maintainability, Quality, Supportability and Interoperability on System Affordability
This publication, reflecting the specific mission of the Reliability Information Analysis Center (RIAC), discusses how the effective application of Reliability, Maintainability, Quality, Supportability and Interoperability (RMQSI) tools and processes will ensure that essential warfighting capabilities are delivered that meet system suitability requirements at the most affordable cost. The publication describes how each of the RMQSI disciplines impacts the overall affordability of a system during the evolving phases of its life cycle.

Optimized Reliability Requirements and Cost Analysis (OR2CA)
Quanterion Solutions Incorporated has developed the Optimized Reliability Requirements and Cost Analysis (OR2CA) tool for one purpose: to present a methodology that develops contractual reliability requirements that are fully aligned with stated End-User Operational Reliability needs and expectations based on all of the categories of root failure cause that contribute to potential mission loss or degradation.
Access Optimized Reliability Requirements and Cost Analysis (OR2CA) today!
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”.
Reliability Modeling – The RIAC Guide to Reliability Prediction, Assessment and Estimation
The purpose of this publication is to provide guidance on modeling techniques that can be used to quantify the reliability of a product or system. There are many ways in which this can be accomplished, depending on the product or system and the type of information that is available, or practical to obtain. It reviews the possible approaches, summarizes their advantages and disadvantages, and provides guidance on selecting a methodology based on the specific goals and constraints of the analyst.
Mechanical Analysis and Other Specialized Techniques for Enhancing Reliability (MASTER)
This document is specifically targeted to address the competing approaches to part reliability predictions, including statistical analysis of relevant failure data, physics of failure modeling, empirical failure models and data, and other less common but acceptable methods.
