ory the quality level might be described by a single fraction of defective products reliability as a part of systems engineering acts as more of an ongoing assessment of failure rates over many years theoretically all items will fail over an infinite period of time 43 defects that appear over time are referred to as reliability fallout to describe reliability fallout a probability model that describes the fraction fallout over time is needed this is known as the life distribution model 42 some of these reliability issues may be due to inherent design issues which may exist even though the product conforms to specifications even items that are produced perfectly will fail over time due to one or more failure mechanisms e g due to human error or mechanical electrical and chemical factors these reliability issues can also be influenced by acceptable levels of variation during initial production quality and reliability are therefore related to manufacturing reliability is more targeted towards clients who are focused on failures throughout the whole life of the product such as the military airlines or railroads items that do not conform to product specification will generally do worse in terms of reliability having a lower mttf but this does not always have to be the case the full mathematical quantification in statistical models of this combined relation is in general very difficult or even practically impossible in cases where manufacturing variances can be effectively reduced six sigma tools have been shown to be useful to find optimal process solutions which can increase quality and reliability six sigma may also help to design products that are more robust to manufacturing induced failures and infant mortality defects in engineering systems and manufactured product in contrast with six sigma reliability engineering solutions are generally found by focusing on reliability testing and system design solutions are found in different ways such as by simplifying a system to allow more of the mechanisms of failure involved to be understood performing detailed calculations of material stress levels allowing suitable safety factors to be determined finding possible abnormal system load conditions and using this to increase robustness of a design to manufacturing variance related failure mechanisms furthermore reliability engineering uses system level solutions like designing redundant and fault tolerant systems for situations with high availability needs see reliability engineering vs safety engineering above note a defect in six sigma quality literature is not the same as a failure field failure e g fractured item in reliability a six sigma quality defect refers generally to non conformance with a requirement e g basic functionality or a key dimension items can however fail over time even if these requirements are all fulfilled quality is generally not concerned with asking the crucial question are the requirements actually correct whereas reliability is reliability operational assessment edit once systems or parts are being produced reliability engineering attempts to monitor assess and correct deficiencies monitoring includes electronic and visual surveillance of critical parameters identified during the fault tree analysis design stage data collection is highly dependent on the nature of the system most large organizations have quality control groups that collect failure data on vehicles equipment and machinery consumer product failures are often tracked by the number of returns for systems in dormant storage or on standby it is necessary to establish a formal surveillance program to inspect and test random samples any changes to the system such as field upgrades or recall repairs require additional reliability testing to ensure the reliability of the modification since it is not possible to anticipate all the failure modes of a given system especially ones with a human element failures will occur the reliability program also includes a systematic root cause analysis that identifies the causal relationships involved in the failure such that effective corrective actions may be implemented when possible system failures and corrective actions are reported to the reliability engineering organization some of the most common methods to apply to a reliability operational assessment are failure reporting analysis and corrective action systems fracas this systematic approach develops a reliability safety and logistics assessment based on failure incident reporting management analysis and corrective preventive actions organizations today are adopting this method and utilizing commercial systems such as web based fracas applications that enable them to create a failure incident data repository from which statistics can be derived to view accurate and genuine reliability safety and quality metrics it is extremely important for an organization to adopt a common fracas system for all end items also it should allow test results to be captured in a practical way failure to adopt one easy to use in terms of ease of data entry for field engineers and repair shop engineers and easy to maintain integrated system is likely to result in a failure of the fracas program itself some of the common outputs from a fracas system include field mtbf mttr spares consumption reliability growth failure incidents distribution by type location part no serial no and symptom the use of past data to predict the reliability of new comparable systems items can be misleading as reliability is a function of the context of use and can be affected by small changes in design manufacturing reliability organizations edit systems of any significant complexity are developed by organizations of people such as a commercial company or a government agency the reliability engineering organization must be consistent with the company s organizational structure for small non critical systems reliability engineering may be informal as complexity grows the need arises for a formal reliability function because reliability is important to the customer the customer may even specify certain aspects of the reliability organization there are several common types of reliability organizations the project manager or chief engineer may employ one or more reliability engineers directly in larger organizations there is usually a product assurance or specialty engineering organization which may include reliability maintainability quality safety human factors logistics etc in such case the reliability engineer reports to the product assurance manager or specialty engineering manager in some cases a company may wish to establish an independent reliability organization this is desirable to ensure that the system reliability which is often expensive and time consuming is not unduly slighted due to budget and schedule pressures in such cases the reliability engineer works for the project day to day but is actually employed and paid by a separate organization within the company because reliability engineering is critical to early system design it has become common for reliability engineers however the organization is structured to work as part of an integrated product team education edit some universities offer graduate degrees in reliability engineering other reliability professionals typically have an engineering statistics math or physics degree from a university or college program many engineering programs offer reliability courses and some universities have entire reliability engineering programs a reliability engineer must be registered as a professional engineer by the state or province by law but not all reliability professionals are engineers reliability engineers are required in systems where public safety is at risk there are many professional conferences and industry training programs available for reliability engineers several professional organizations exist for reliability engineers including the american society for quality reliability division asq rd 44 the ieee reliability society the
