Accendo Reliability Webinar Series

Let's get into the details and code to make this analysis happen.

Let’s talk about risk, risk management, and our role in identifying and mitigating risks.

Let's take a closer look at the process to create the potential fits to the data.

The goal of this presentation is to educate the audience of options to prevent electronic equipment failure used in enclosed spaces from corrosion.

Using a particular formula requires understanding the purpose, limitations, and assumptions involved. It also requires using the right formula.

Let's take a closer look at the concept of likelihood and it's role in an MCMC analysis.

Your science, engineering, and math formal training will serve you well as a reliability engineer, and that is not sufficient to be successful.

So how do you convert reliability data analysis into useful information for that decision?

Practical Use of Stress-Strength Models to Develop Specifications podcast episode with speaker Rob Schubert Warranty returns are a great place to start for setting targets for new products. But how do you translate that to specific numbers to design to? If you know the strength of a product and the return rate, you can develop […]

Let’s discuss the concept of failures along with a few other concepts universal to reliability engineering.

Some of you may have heard of ‘Bayesian analysis.’ You may think this is something fancy that only universities do.

This webinar will open your eyes to this important perspective. its’ so simple and has made many heroes in the data analysis world since Abraham Ward.

The selection hinges on knowing what is available, understanding the current situation, and available information, plus ...

The Reliability Value Map. It is a thing. podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson If reliability engineering costs you money, then you are doing it wrong. But chances are that someone you work for looks at reliability engineering as a black hole of costs. This needs to stop! Reliability engineering is about creating value. Or […]

Overview of Life Testing in Minitab podcast episode with speaker Rob Schubert Many companies haven’t the resources to purchase much more expensive software specifically for reliability, but many have the quality software Minitab. Minitab has many reliability functions available; this presentation covers the basics, beginning with “individual distribution identification” to ensure your data fits on...

What to Do About MTBF Use podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg While the NoMTBF movement is progressing, we still find those who want to use MTBF (or MTTF). As you know, MTxx-type metrics are means. They contain little information and are generally misunderstood and misused. So, what should a well-educated practitioner do? Let’s discuss […]

Ever wondered if your servicing intervals are ‘good’? Do you know what ‘good’ is?

Reliability Engineering versus Quality Engineering podcast episode I recently received a question about the differences and similarities and which discipline is better concerning reliability and quality engineering. Some say reliability is a characteristic of quality, while I say reliability is quality yet over time. Both use statistics, both support design or operations teams, and both […]

PDFs, CDFs, and other ‘Fs’ What the hell are they? podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson Ok. They say there are lies, damn lies, and statistics. At the heart of statistics are these intimidating functions like ‘probability density functions’ and ‘cumulative distribution functions.’ They mean something – but are practically useless unless they help inform […]

How to Learn Reliability Engineering podcast episode It’s impossible to point to one moment, class, seminar, workshop, or conference where I learned reliability engineering. Not one situation, project, conversation, or meeting, either. Learning reliability engineering is a journey, and each is different. Some of us start in the field of reliability engineering by choice. Others […]

Weibull Probability Plotting How to learn more by just looking! podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson If you are a reliability engineer – chances are you have done a Weibull plot. You take something like failure data, put it into a piece of software, and presto! You get a straight line with other numbers and […]

3 Ways to Do Reliability Allocation podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson Having a reliability target for your product is excellent. But how does that help all the little design teams, who make their own decisions on all the different parts of your system? Well – it starts with reliability allocation. Reliability allocation takes your […]

Why Reliability Engineering Is Important podcast episode What do you tell someone you just met when they ask, “So, what do you do?” Saying you’re a reliability engineer will likely get a polite nod or confused look. How do you explain what you do and why? Why is what we do as reliability-minded folk important? […]

How is Reliability Engineering Changing? podcast episode The reliability engineering discipline, like all fields of endeavor, is changing. The inclusion of risk management, the shift to proactively avoiding field failures, and the increasing use of sensors and models all make the future fascinating. Let’s explore a brief history plus the major trends in business and […]

3 Steps to Improve Your Reliability Culture podcast episode The reliability culture of an organization is about how individuals make decisions. It combines priorities & policies, behaviors & motivations, and information & capability. Understanding the current culture allows you to improve the culture. Improving decision-making concerning reliability has a number of benefits, including...
