Training Course Syllabus:

Demonstrating Product Reliability - Sample Sizes and Testing Times Webinar

Objectives of the Presentation

Understand reliability metrics/statistics
Identify alternatives for demonstrating that reliability targets have been achieved
Manage tradeoffs between sample sizes and testing times
Develop reliability test plans that consider the tradeoffs between sample sizes, testing times and risks of not passing the test

Why Should you Attend

This webinar provides methods that allow the risks of field failures due to inadequate designs or misunderstanding of product use conditions to be managed. Also, the webinar provides options to verify and demonstrate that customer reliability requirements have been achieved.

Areas Covered

Overview of reliability
Reliability Metrics and specifications
Estimating reliability with time-to-failure data
Confidence intervals and bounds
Demonstrating reliability with zero or few failures
Tradeoffs between testing time and sample size
Impact of assumptions on test plans
Improving demonstration test power

Who will Benefit

The target audience includes anyone with a vested interest in product quality and reliability: Product Engineers, Reliability Engineers, Design Engineers, Quality Engineers, Quality Assurance Managers, Project / Program Managers, Manufacturing Personnel

Seminar Summary:

Product Reliability requirements must be satisfied like all other performance requirements prior to product launch. However, since reliability is a function of time, the methods for verifying that reliability performance has been verified differ than for most other performance characteristics. This webinar will present several approaches for verifying that reliability targets or specifications have been achieved at the desired level of confidence. Specifically, approaches using time-to-failure data to estimate reliability metrics as well as demonstration tests, where minimum reliability may be demonstrated with zero or few failures are discussed. (see full course description)
