Reliability Analysis

In an era of intense market competition, to remain a leading brand manufacturer, you must develop and maintain product value for your customers – whether you produce millions of parts or just one piece. In recent years, reliability has become a critical element for customers. They expect their products to perform consistently and for as long as needed. Achieving these goals is impossible without proper testing of the product and its components before they leave the manufacturer’s factory.

Testing is usually the most expensive, longest, and most difficult step in product development. It is essential to ensure a design that meets customer requirements for safety, performance, durability, reliability, legal aspects, and so on. Unfortunately, most testing performed in today’s industry is based on traditions, standards, and procedures that do not ensure optimal achievement of the aforementioned characteristics while meeting deadlines and at the lowest possible cost. The misconception of testing stems from a misunderstanding of its nature and purpose.

Testing is not just a problem for engineers! Due to its economic impact, it is equally important for management. Insufficient testing translates into reduced performance, reliability, and safety, higher warranty and post-warranty service costs, and a loss of customer loyalty.
