Most manufacturers today recognize the criticality of developing products that will perform reliably during the useful life of the product. Inferior reliability performance alienates customers and significantly impairs brand and company reputations. While product development actions related to ensuring reliability targets are met have increased substantially in recent years, several challenges remain.
They include:
Short product development timeframes
Difficulty in observing product failures (needed for reliability estimation) in available testing timeframe
Small sample sizes available for reliability testing
Join this session by expert speaker Steven Wachs, will focus on Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) methods to overcome many challenges in standard reliability testing. You’ll get an understanding of and strategies for estimating reliability performance using accelerated life testing.
Session Highlights:
Accelerate product testing to reduce costs while minimizing risk
Predict product performance rather than react to potential problems
Ensure adequate product performance prior to launch
Overview of Accelerated Life Testing
Types of Stress Profiles
Planning for an Accelerated Life Test (Sample Sizes, Stress Levels, Stress Profiles, etc.)
Analyzing Accelerated Life Test Data
Predicting Product Performance
Correlating Accelerated Life Test Results with Actual Reliability Performance
Why You Should Attend:
This webinar will provide a solid review of Reliability targets and methods for achieving them. The emphasis is on setting up Accelerated Life Tests which can greatly reduce the time to estimate product reliability. There are a number of challenges in planning Accelerated Life Tests as well as in the modeling of the resulting data. This webinar will highlight many of these challenges and provide guidelines for successfully conducting Accelerated Life Tests.
