Reliability Across the Product Lifecycle
Production & Manufacturing
Protect demonstrated reliability as the product moves into manufacture and undergoes change.
Purpose & Benefit
Reliability Support at This Stage
Connect process controls, supplier evidence and screening to reliability-critical features. Assess changes before they introduce avoidable defects or invalidate existing qualification evidence.
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.
Process FMEA
Identify manufacturing failure risks and the controls needed to protect product reliability.
ExploreSupplier Reliability Assessment
Review supplier evidence and technical risks that could affect component or assembly reliability.
ExploreBurn-in & Screening Strategy
Develop production screening around relevant defects, stresses and acceptance criteria.
ExploreManufacturing & Process Reliability
Assess how process variation and manufacturing transfer affect reliability-critical features.
ExploreChange & Second-Source Qualification
Define the evidence needed to introduce component, supplier, material or process changes.
ExploreFailure Analysis
Investigate physical failure mechanisms and support corrective action.
ExploreReliability Demonstration Testing
Plan a test that can demonstrate a specified reliability target at an agreed confidence level.
