![]() | Peter de Place Rimmen - Danfoss Drives A/S Introduction to the modern Reliability based on physics and statistics | |
Abstract | ||
Product-Reliability is meeting customers’ expectations throughout expected use time. The Modern product/component Reliability are based on the physics, statistics and the stress/mission profile the component or design will experience. The method discussed will make it possible to have the important dialog with the management to understand the impact of poor reliability and the necessary priorities that always shall be done in a company. The methods discussed here closes the reliability learning loop from setting up the Reliability Goal, following up during the Design Phases, Production Phases and the values can be compared with Field Failures. The method is based on the Physics of Failure parameters, Weibull, Mean Cumulative Function and this make it possible to estimate Warranty cost, which can be transformed to Standard Unit Cost and make it possible to optimize the total product cost. You will have the opportunity to try some of the methods discussed yourself after the tutorial. | ||
