"Ops A La Carte prepared for Paramit Corp a 1/2 day reliability clinic for our customers that was very informative and useful to both our internal engineering teams and to our customers. Because of that one seminar, many customers expressed interest in HALT/HASS and some have proceeded down that path. Paramit plans on bringing Ops A La Carte in for a 2 day seminar internally in the near future. The benefit far exceeds the price."

Reliability Tools & Integration for the Prototype Phase

blue rule with fade
OBJECTIVES
This course will look at reliability tools that are used in the prototype phase of a project in order to determine product robustness and margins through testing. These tools are used after a working prototype has been developed. This represents the first time a product will be tested. The focus here will be mostly at finding design issues that escaped the analysis performed during the design phase.
