What’s Wrong with Using FITs? 23.10.2024
Electronic component manufacturers use the term ‘Failures in Time’ of ‘FITs’ to describe the reliability of their products. But what is a FIT?
Fundamentals of System Effectiveness 09.10.2024
Let’s examine system effectiveness in more detail. Then, examine an example or two so you can apply this concept to your situation.
What’s the Difference Between FMEA and FMECA? 24.09.2024
Understand the difference (if any) between FMEAs and FMECAs? … and How can you make an FMECA work for you?
Fundamentals of Reliability Goals 10.09.2024
Let’s explore the elements that make up a reliability goal. Plus, the range of inputs you can use to define each element.

Let’s explore the steps necessary to obtain valid and valuable process capability ratios. Then, let’s examine how to use this information.
Using Monte Carlo Simulation 23.04.2024
Sometimes the equations we need to model reliability are just so complicated that we simply avoid them. Let's use Monte Carlo instead.
Fundamentals of Control Charts 09.04.2024
Statistical control charting (SPC) is a method for monitoring and determining whether a process is in control or stable.
AI Product Development and Deployment 02.04.2024
Greg will discuss the critical architecture and design practices that need to be considered in AI product development and deployment.
The MTBF and Modeling System Reliability 26.03.2024
The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) appears in lots of textbooks and standards, so it must be really important … right? Well, not really.
Fundamentals of Safety Margins 12.03.2024
Let’s examine safety margins and why they are one method to design robust products that also improve product reliability performance.
