From a statistical perspective, this is a clear ‘fingerprint’ of failures that are entirely dependent on maintenance.

Reliability Engineering and Listening 10.06.2026

Let’s examine the different ways one can listen, when it’s useful, and how to become a much better listener.

Capacitors and Failures 14.05.2026

In this podcast let’s explore common types of capacitors, MLCC and Electrolytic, their basic construction, and how they may fail.

Reliability Management and Leadership 14.04.2026

Let’s talk about the differences and how you can play an effective role as both a manager and a leader focused on improving reliability.

Using AI to Detect and Assess Imminent Failure 12.03.2026

The basics of decision tree modelling and consider a simple demonstration of its application to assess imminent failure in automobiles.

How to Model Switching Systems Perfectly 27.02.2026

This webinar shows you how to model switching (and other complex) systems using Monte Carlo Simulation in Excel with a perfect model.

Fundamentals of Supplier Reliability 14.02.2026

Let’s explore how to work with suppliers to ensure the supplied items will meet or exceed your reliability expectations.

10 Reasons to do FMEAS with AI 29.01.2026

This webinar gives you 10 reasons why you should do FMEAs and FMECAs properly – and use AI to accelerate the process to amazing results.

Fundamentals of Product Warranty 14.01.2026

Let’s explore what warranties are and are not, plus why they even exist. How are the terms of a warranty set, and by whom?

Fundamentals of Reliability Maturity 11.12.2025

Let’s explore how a group’s culture affects its ability to create a reliable product or system. It’s part how we talk about reliability, what tasks, and tests we do.

Fundamentals of Failure Analysis 13.11.2025

The intent of any failure analysis is to understand the problem well enough to craft and implement short and long-term solutions.

Parts Count Reliability Prediction 28.10.2025

‘parts count reliability prediction’ is awful. And in this webinar, we will explain why. If this intrigues you, enjoy this episode.

Fundamentals of Regression Analysis 15.10.2025

Let’s explore a few of the limitations, checks, and options when taking a look at some data. Checking assumptions and more.

Software Root Cause Analysis (with Fault Trees) 22.09.2025

Bugs are so common that we know how most of them happen. So we can work out what went wrong to allow that bug to happen.

Fundamentals of Life Estimation 11.09.2025

Let’s explore the range of options available to estimate the life of an item, plus the pros and cons of each method.

Fundamentals of Environmental Testing 13.08.2025

Let’s explore when and how to identify which types of environmental testing should be done so that they add value.

What is Reliability? 22.07.2025

So if you want to find out what reliability actually is (no equations) … this webinar is for you! - it's not MTBF, BTW

Fundamentals of Success Testing 09.07.2025

Let’s examine the success testing approach, the assumptions, benefits and faults. Plus, what other options you may have available

What is Accelerated Life Testing (ALT)? 25.06.2025

perhaps you want to estimate the reliability of something that is supposed to last a long time, but don’t have a lot of time to test.

Engineering Framework to Assess Equipment Reliability 10.06.2025

Explore the framework to assess equipment reliability for air fin coolers and ensure operational excellence in process plants.

The MTBF Sucks Here’s Why 28.05.2025

Ever heard of the MTBF? A lot of people have. But not many people (truly) understand what it is.

Fundamentals of Derating 13.05.2025

Let’s explore why derating is important, the difference it can make, and a few methods to implement derating with your design team.

What is Weibull Probability Plotting? 25.04.2025

Weibull probability plotting is perhaps the most widespread data analysis tool used in reliability and quality engineering.

Linking Customer Needs to Product Requirements and Robust Design 08.04.2025

Product requirements that have the most impact on customer needs should be considered in your design failure modes and effects analysis (DFMEA)

What are ‘Cut Sets’? 25.03.2025

Reliability engineers are often taught about ‘cut sets.’ But we rarely use them. Many reliability engineers don’t know what they are.
