Presentation Title: “Reliability – Standards, Statistics and Engineering”

Abstract: Reliability – Standards, Statistics and Engineering

Frank will present Reliability from several points of view.

1. Standards and procedures

2. Statistical methods

3. System Engineering

Of course, we will have some hands-on learning exercise.


For reference on this topic, see the following information from ASQ

Quality = Does it perform its intended function?

Reliability = How long will it do so?

Reliability can be defined as the probability that a product, system or service will perform its intended function adequately for a specified period of time, operating in a defined operating environment without failure.

Components of this definition:

  • Probability: the likelihood of mission success.
  • Intended function: for example, to light, cut, rotate or heat.
  • Satisfactory: perform according to a specification, with an acceptable degree of compliance.
  • Specific period of time: minutes, days, months or number of cycles.
  • Specified conditions: for example, temperature, speed or pressure.

Stated another way, reliability is

  • Probability of success
  • Durability
  • Dependability
  • Quality over time
  • Availability to perform a function

Common examples:

  • “This car is under warranty for 40,000 miles or 3 years, whichever comes first.”
  • “This mower has a lifetime guarantee.”

Join us for a wonderful presentation of “Reliability – Standards, Statistics and Engineering” on January 17th, 2019 at 6:00pm!!!

As a clinic participant, you will:
The “angle of perception” used by auditors, and how to expand it using the “missing senses” to soak up evidence like a sponge.
Learn how auditees hide nonconformities in plain view, based on predicted auditor behavior.
Never again have your audit findings challenged because of weak evidence.
