Reliability Across the Product Lifecycle
Design & Development
Identify failure mechanisms and reduce reliability risk while the design can still be improved.
Purpose & Benefit
Reliability Support at This Stage
Connect reliability analysis to component selection, packaging, stress margins and design reviews. Prioritise changes that reduce qualification risk and protect intended service life.
Reliability Activities
Select the Support Your Project Needs
Choose an individual activity or discuss a coordinated programme. Activities are selected according to the product risks and available evidence.
Design FMEA & FMECA
Identify design failure modes, their effects and the actions needed to reduce reliability risk.
ExplorePhysics of Failure
Connect materials, geometry and operating stresses to the mechanisms that can limit product life.
ExploreReliability Prediction
Estimate failure rates to compare designs and support reliability decisions with stated assumptions.
ExploreDesign for Reliability
Bring reliability requirements, risk analysis and test evidence into design decisions.
ExploreComponent Reliability Assessment
Assess whether components and technologies are suitable for the intended application.
ExploreParts Stress & Derating
Review electrical and thermal stresses against component limits and application margins.
ExploreReliability Block Diagrams
Model how subsystem success and redundancy affect the reliability of the complete system.
ExploreFault Tree Analysis
Trace combinations of events that can produce a defined system failure.
ExplorePackaging & Interconnect Reliability
Assess the materials and interfaces that often govern microelectronic assembly life.
ExploreReliability Design Review
Check whether the reliability evidence is ready for the next project decision.
ExploreMission Profile Analysis
Translate real use into the thermal, electrical and mechanical stresses that drive reliability.
ExploreDocumented Outcomes
