Design for Reliability (DfR)
OBJECTIVES
DfR highlights a series of Selected Reliability topics and explains when to use them. Topics are chosen from each phase of the 4 product life cycle - Concept, Design, Prototype and Manufacturing. We start out in the Concept Phase by showing you how to set good goals and how to then take these goals and write a Reliability Plan. Then we take the best techniques from the next 3 phases and explain how to integrate each of these together to make a cohesive reliability program.
Note that this DfR seminar can highlight Hardware only, Software only, or a combination of the two.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is intended for those involved in design, test, or analysis, who want a better understanding of advanced reliability concepts for the purpose of improving the reliability of their product.
MODULE LIST (click here for a detailed outline)
- This seminar will highlight a series of Selected Reliability topics and will answer the question of why each technique is important. We will also introduce how to use each technique. The major topics we will cover are:
- (1) DfR Overview/Introduction Module
- (2) Planning for Reliability - Assessments, Goal Setting/Metrics, & Program Plan Module
- (3) Reliability Modeling and Prediction Module
- (4) Design for Availability Module
- (5) Thermal Analysis Module
- (6) Derating Analysis
- (7) Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) Module
- (8) Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) Module
- (9) Design of Experiments (DoE) Module
- (10) Human Engineering/Human Factors Analysis Module
- (11) Warranty Analysis/Design for Warranty Cost Reduction Module
- (12) Critical Parts Management Module
- (13) Design for Extreme Environments - Vibration, Shock, Temperature, Pressure Module
- (14) Highly Accelerated Life Test (HALT) Module
- (15) Reliability Demonstration Test (RDT)/Accelerated Life Test (ALT) Module
- (16) Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Module
- (17) Highly Accelerated Stress Screen (HASS) Module
- (18) Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Module
- (19) Outsourced Engineering and Reliability Module
- (20) Mechanical Reliability Module
- (21) Software Reliability (from Concepts to Testing) Module
-
This seminar will help you define reliability goals, metrics, plans and schedules and then manage the activities, all within a product life cycle perspective. It will also monitor and improve processes to measure reliability related costs. From this seminar, you will be able to establish and monitor processes to track reliability growth as well as assist production and supply chain groups in reliability assurance strategy development. This seminar is targeted at the engineers responsible for product reliability who will be using these reliability techniques.
