Reliability EngineeringCustomer RequirementsA high reliability of a product contributes to the commercial success for several reasons: reduced warranty costs, increased customer loyalty and a positive image.
Whereas warranty costs can directly be evaluated, image and customer loyalty are less easily assessed while having a major impact on the revenues long-term.
Applying statistical monitoring methods ensures that reliability targets of the prototype design are met. It is vital to have a clear understanding of the reliability prediction and potential risks, to be able to take countermeasures at an early stage. Choosing the appropriate test procedure and eliminating design weaknesses, are the foundation for a successful product launch.
