Reliability Strategy

Before There Is Hardware: What Reliability Work Should Be Done?

Practical reliability work to perform before prototypes exist, including predecessor lessons, risk review, planning, and failure-mechanism thinking.

Reliability Prediction

No Evidence of Correlation: Field Failures and Traditional Reliability Engineering

A critical examination of the disconnect between traditional calculated failure-rate predictions and verified real-world field failures.

Failure Mechanisms

The Component Failure Myth

Why system failures are often driven by design, manufacturing, application, or process exceptions rather than nominal intrinsic component wearout.
