Design Review
Design for Reliability
Bring reliability requirements, risk analysis and test evidence into design decisions.
Purpose & Benefit
When This Activity Helps
Use throughout development, particularly before design freeze. An independent engineering review helps focus changes on the failure risks most likely to affect qualification and service life.
Project Information
Typical Inputs
The scope is tailored to the available evidence. Useful inputs include:
- Design documentation and mission profile
- Reliability requirements and previous analyses
- Prototype results and manufacturing constraints
Engineering Approach
How SPACEREL Supports Your Project
SPACEREL reviews stress margins, components, materials, interconnects and design controls. Findings from FMEA, Physics of Failure and testing are brought together into practical recommendations and an evidence plan.
Documented Outcomes
Typical Deliverables
Deliverables are agreed before work starts and can include:
- Design for Reliability assessment
- Prioritised actions and evidence gaps
- Recommendations for design review and qualification
