This made for some awkward placement and in some cases redundancy. We thought the ease of access for readers, who might be struggling with some particular point in the BOK, would more than balance these disadvantages. The enclosed CD-ROM contains supplementary problems covering each chapter, and a simulated exam containing problems distributed among chapters according to the information in the BOK. It is suggested that the reader study a particular section, repeating any calculations independently, and then do the supplementary problems for that section. After attaining success with all chapters, the reader may complete the simulated exam to confirm mastery of the entire Body of Knowledge.

Reliability Program Management C. Product Safety and Liability 1 Part I Reliability Management Chapter 1 Part I. Strategic Management T he structure of this book is based on that of the Body of Knowledge specified by ASQ for the Certified Reliability Engineer. Before the formal Body of Knowledge is approached, a definition of reliability is needed. Reliability is defined as the probability that an item will perform a required function without failure under stated conditions for a specified period of time. For example, a timing chain might have a reliability goal of. This would mean that at least This should be defined for every part, subassembly, and product. The statement of the required function should state or imply a failure definition. The implied failure definition would be moving fewer than twenty gallons per minute.

These include environmental conditions, maintenance conditions, usage conditions, storage and moving conditions, and possibly others. For example, a pump might be designed to function for 10, hours. Sometimes it is more appropriate to use some other measure of stress than time. Synthesis Body of Knowledge I. Suppose, for instance, that a system has independent components that must function in order for the system to function. Further suppose that each component has a reliability of The system would have a reliability of 0. The study of reliability engineering responds to each of these influences by helping designers determine and increase the useful lifetime of products, processes, and services. Comprehension Body of Knowledge I. Narrowly construed, this means, in the manufacturing industries, producing parts with dimensions that are within tolerance. Quality engineering must expand this narrow construction to include reliability considerations, and all quality engineers should have a working knowledge of reliability engineering.

What, then, is the distinction between these two fields? Answers are sought to questions such as: Part I. Part I. In the case of manufacturing, data for quality engineering are generally collected during the manufacturing process. Inputs such as voltages, pressures, temperatures, and raw material parameters are measured. Outputs such as dimensions, acidity, weight, and contamination levels are measured. The data for reliability engineering generally are collected after a component or product is manufactured. For example, a switch might be toggled repeatedly until it fails, and the number of successful cycles noted. A pump might be run until its output in gallons per minute falls below a defined value, and the number of hours recorded.

Quality engineers suggest changes that permit the item to be produced within tolerance at a reasonable cost. Reliability engineers make recommendations that permit the item to function correctly for a longer period of time. The preceding paragraphs show that although the roles of quality and reliability are different they do interrelate. For example, in the product design phase both quality and reliability functions have the goal of proposing cost-effective ways to satisfy and exceed customer expectations. This often mandates that the two functions work together to produce a design that both works correctly and performs for an acceptable period of time. When processes are designed and operated, the quality and reliability engineers work together to determine the process parameters that impact the performance and longevity of the product so that those parameters can be appropriately controlled.

A similar interrelationship holds as specifications are developed for packaging, shipment, installation, operation, and maintenance. Therefore, the designers of products and processes must understand and use reliability data as design decisions are made. Generally, the earlier reliability data are considered in the design process the more efficient and effective their impact will be. Once a reliable product is designed, quality engineering techniques are used to make sure that the processes produce that product. Chapter 1: A. Strategic Management 5 3. Data are collected on the failure rates of components and products, including those produced by suppliers. Reliability predictions, as discussed in Chapter 9, provide guidance as components are selected. Reliability improvements can be effected through component redundancy. Warranties that are not supported by reliability data can cause extra costs and inflame customer ire.

Products whose failure can introduce safety and health hazards need to be analyzed for reliability so that procedures can be put in place to reduce the probability that they will be used beyond their useful lifetime. Analysis 6 Part I: Reliability Management Part I. An understanding of the lifecycles of the products and equipment they use and handle can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their function. At this point it is, of course, too late to have much impact on those parameters. Application Body of Knowledge I. The reliability engineer must go beyond these calculations and examine the consequences of failure. These consequences typically represent costs to the customer. The customer finds ways of sharing these costs with the producer through the warranty system, loss of business, decrease in reputation, or the civil litigation system. Therefore, an important reliability function is the anticipation of possible failures and the establishment of reliability acceptance goals that will limit their occurrence and consequent costs.

Once component, product, and system reliability goals have been set, a testing protocol should be implemented to provide validation that these goals will impact the failure rates and the associated consequences as planned. These reliability goals typically impose specifications on the product. In anticipation of the start of production, reliability engineers provide further testing procedures to provide verification that these specifications are being met. Analysis Body of Knowledge I. The goal is to determine the reliability level that will minimize the total lifecycle cost of the product. The lifecycle cost of a product includes the cost to purchase, operate, and maintain the product during its useful lifetime. In some cases, such as automotive products, where the customer seldom keeps the product for its entire useful lifetime, costs associated with depreciation may be factored into lifecycle costs. The real cost of failures is frequently underestimated.

If a cent natural gas valve component fails to function, the cost may far exceed the cent replacement cost. Reliability engineers take the long-term view and develop cost-effective ways to reduce lifecycle costs. These may range from design techniques such as redundancy and derating to specification of manufacturing parameters such as burn-in time. Increased reliability sometimes means increased manufacturing cost and selling price. Properly implemented, however, the result will be a decrease in lifecycle cost. Consider, for instance, a national truck line who discovered that its most frequent cause of vehicle downtime was loss of a headlight bulb. This entailed stopping the truck at the side of the road and summoning a repair vehicle from the nearest company depot. The resultant delay caused late deliveries and dissatisfied customers. The trucking company determined that a much more reliable bulb reduced lifecycle costs even though the new bulb had a considerably higher initial purchase price and required retrofitting a step-up transformer to obtain the required voltage.

The company now specifies the more reliable bulb for new truck purchases. As component and product design decisions are made, the reliability engineer can aid in calculating the cost—benefit relationships by providing life expectancies for various design options. Strategic Management 9 7. There is no substitute for close, face-to-face communication with those to whom products and services are provided. A number of tools can be used for measuring customer needs and desires. The most elementary tool is the customer satisfaction survey. It has the advantage of being the simplest to use. The data obtained from such surveys are often of questionable validity due to the nonrandom nature of responses.

Another disadvantage of such surveys is they tend to be reactive rather than proactive. Some of the most innovative products and services were developed in anticipation of perceived needs rather than in response to them. Prototyping This is the process of building a preliminary model of the product or service for the purpose of determining design features, reliability, usability, and user reactions. Production of prototypes provides the design team with a three-dimensional object they can examine and in some cases run through reliability tests. The main disadvantage of prototyping is the cost. The term rapid prototyping is sometimes used to refer to a prototype that can be produced in a much shorter time than the standard production process, which may include die and fixture work. Researchers in the field point out, however, that the actual machining process in many cases is not very rapid. Some current work focuses on generating computer codes for a milling or turning machine from the data produced by a computer aided design CAD system.

To date the resultant program produces a process that tends to be very slow in execution. Comprehension 10 Part I: Reliability Management Part I. The input to the process is the voice of the customer. The QFD matrix aids in illustrating the linkage between the VOC and the resulting technical requirements. A quality function deployment matrix consists of several parts. There is no standard format matrix or key for the symbols, but the example shown in Figure 1. A map of the various parts of Figure 1. This section often includes a scale reflecting the importance of the individual entries. A circle indicates that target is better. Various symbols can be used here. The most common are shown in Figure 1. It plots comparison with competition for the customer requirements. It plots comparison with competition for the technical requirements. A positive co-relationship indicates that both technical requirements can be improved at the same time. A negative co-relationship indicates that improving one of the technical requirements will make the other one worse.

They indicate the importance of the technical requirements in meeting customer requirements. These assigned values are arbitrary, and in the example a strong relationship was assigned a 9, moderate 3, and weak 1. The completed matrix can provide a database for product development, serve as a basis for planning product or process improvements, and suggest opportunities for new or revised product or process introductions. The basic QFD product planning matrix can be followed with similar matrices for planning the parts that make up the product and for planning the processes that will produce the parts.

See Figure 1. If a matrix has more than 25 customer voice lines it tends to become unmanageable. The release of a preliminary version of a product to a restricted set of users has come to be known as beta testing. A principal advantage of this technique is the exposure of the product to a larger audience with varied needs and levels of expertise who might detect flaws that inhouse alpha testing missed. The customers entrusted with the early designs are expected to report good and bad features Chapter 1: A. and recommendations to the development team. This frequently results in the identification of potential corrections and improvements that can be factored into the final version. Beta testing tends to be more important with complex products for which unusual combinations of usage circumstances may not be envisioned by designers. Figure 1. Strategic Management 13 8.

They may be called on to support design projects, provide assistance to supplier selection or failure mode and effects analysis FMEA , or be involved in other projects where their expertise is needed. In each case an understanding of project management tools is essential. Project management can be a daunting task for the reliability engineer because in addition to manipulating formulas and analyzing data, the project manager must find ways to get the best efforts from people. The tools outlined in this section are those most frequently employed. Complex projects often use one or more of these tools, sometimes using software packages designed to streamline record keeping. Project Management Tools The Gantt chart for a reliability project is illustrated in Figure 1. Project tasks are listed on the left-hand side of the chart. Extending to the right of each task is the Task Week number 1 A. Finalize prototype design B. Fabricate prototype C.

Construct test fixture D. Conduct tests E. Analyze test data F. Produce report Figure 1. Comprehension Part I. The time reference is given along the top of the chart. In Figure 1. The chart may be updated during the project to show actual progress. Some Gantt charts list project milestones in addition to activities. The following diagrams show, with increasing sophistication, the time dependencies between various activities. This figure indicates that task A must competed before tasks B or C can be started and that these two tasks must be completed before task D can be begun, and so on. Although authors differ on the information that should be contained in various project diagrams, the critical path method CPM diagram usually adds the time required to complete each task. This addition facilitates the identification of the critical path.

The critical path is defined as the set of activities that requires the longest time. The CPM diagram for the project shown in Figure 1. It includes task C B A D E F C Figure 1. Fabricate prototype 2 weeks A. Finalize prototype design 2 weeks D. Conduct tests 9 weeks E. Analyze test data 1 week F. Produce report 1. Construct test fixture 2 weeks Figure 1. If the latest finish time for a task on the critical path is exceeded, the length of the critical path will be exceeded unless a decrease in a later task time can be arranged. X X X X Latest finish time Part I. The length of the critical path in this case is Software packages are available that can identify and calculate the length of the critical path. A program evaluation and review technique PERT chart provides even more information about the project and its activities.

The PERT chart for the project in Figure 1. For each step, the chart displays the earliest and latest beginning and ending times. The latest times are those that can be maintained without changing the time for the critical path. Five time values are given for each task. The key to these values is given in the lower right-hand corner of Figure 1. The earliest times are determined using a left-to-right pass through the project tasks beginning with time zero for the earliest starting time for the first task. The earliest finish time is found by adding the time required to complete the task to the earliest start time. Note that the earliest start time for task C is one week after the earliest start time for task B, as indicated in Figure 1.

The latest times are determined using a right-to-left pass. The latest finish time for the last task is defined as the length of the critical path, The latest start time for each task is found by subtracting the time required to finish the task from the latest finish time. Slack time for an activity is defined as 16 Part I: Reliability Management Part I. Chapter 2 1. Mean life is also referred to as the expected time to failure. Mean life is denoted by mean time to failure MTTF for nonrepairable products and mean time between failures MTBF for repairable products.

The reliability engineer should exercise care in the use of the terms MTBF and MTTF. These terms are usually used when the underlying failure distribution is the exponential and the failure rate is constant. The relationships given in the remainder of Chapter 2 are based on this assumption. MTTF and MTBF are often denoted with the letter m or the Greek theta q. In the case of automotive products, the life units may be miles. In other equipment, life units may be cycles, rounds fired, and so forth. Some documents, for instance, replace MTBF with MCBF mean cycles between failures. For a particular set of failure times, the mean life is obtained by averaging the failure times. This value serves as an estimate for q and is sometimes denoted qˆ. Reliability Program Management 18 Part I: Reliability Management Part I. Suppose 25 failures occurred during the test.

Exact failure times, in which the exact failure time is known. Example 2. Right-censored data, in which it is known only that the failure happened or would have happened after a particular time. This occurs if an item is still functioning when the test is concluded. Chapter 2: B. Reliability Program Management 19 4. Interval-censored data, in which it is known only that the failure happened between two times. For example, if the items are checked every five hours and an item was functioning at hour but had failed sometime before hour The mean time to repair MTTR is the average time it takes to return the product to operational status.

Failure rate is the reciprocal of the mean life. Failure rate is usually denoted by the letter f or the Greek letter lambda l. l and Availability can be defined as the probability that a product is operable and in a committable state when needed. In other words it is the probability that an item has not failed or is not undergoing repair. Another way to express this is the proportion of time a system is in a functioning condition. Left-censored data, in which it is known only that the failure happened before a particular time. This occurs if the items are not checked prior to being tested but are periodically examined and a failure is observed at the first examination.

It is defined as the probability that a product will function at a particular point in time during a mission. Maintainability is the probability that a failed product will be repaired within a given amount of time once it has failed. Thus, maintainability is a function of time. In defining maintainability it is necessary to describe exactly what is included in the maintenance action. The following items are typical: diagnosis time, part procurement time, teardown time, rebuild time, and verification time. Preventive maintenance, that is, the replacement, at scheduled intervals, of parts or components that have not failed rather than waiting for a failure, is frequently more cost-effective. Preventive maintenance reduces the diagnosis and part procurement times and thus may improve maintainability.

Evaluation Body of Knowledge I. In order to accomplish this a reliability program should have the following elements: Chapter 2: B. Reliability Program Management 21 2. Product design. The reliability program must have a mechanism for translating the minimum reliability requirements into design requirements. Process design. As the product design firms up, attention can shift toward the design of the processes that will produce it. Reliability requirements must be finalized for components, whether inhouse or from suppliers. These requirements must be linked to manufacturing process parameters by determining what processes and what settings will produce components with the required reliability.

Validation and verification. As either prototypes or the first production pieces become available, the reliability program must facilitate tests that are conducted to validate that the reliability requirements do indeed produce the desired product reliability. When these requirements have been validated it is necessary to verify that the production processes can produce products that meet these requirements. Post-production evaluation. The reliability program must make provisions for collecting and analyzing data from products during their useful life: a. Random samples from regular production should be collected and tested for reliability. Customer feedback should be actively solicited and analyzed. Field service and warranty records should be studied. Training and education.

Although listed last this is certainly not the least important element of a reliability program. No reliability program can succeed without a basic understanding of its elementary concepts by people at all levels. Support from key managers is essential because their cooperation is needed for the testing and analysis process. Top-level management must see the importance of the program to the success of the enterprise. So this element of the reliability program must sometimes be given first priority if the rest of the program is to succeed. Established reliability goals and requirements. The general goal of reliability efforts is to delight customers by increasing the reliability of products. The reliability program accomplishes this goal by establishing reliability goals and meeting them.

Customer input and market analysis typically determine minimum reliability requirements. In general, consumers have rising expectations for reliability. The minimum reliability requirements are time dependent because reliability changes throughout the life of the product. PRODUCT LIFE-CYCLE AND COSTS Identify the various life-cycle stages and their relationship to reliability, and analyze various cost-related issues including product maintenance, life expectation, duty cycle, software defect phase containment, etc. The first stage is referred to variously as the early failure stage, the infant mortality stage, or the decreasing failure rate stage. The failures that occur during the early failure stage are usually associated with manufacturing rather than design.

Examples of causes of failure include inadequate test or burn-in time, poor quality control, poor handling, weak materials or components, and human error in fabrication or assembly. Ideally, all these failures should occur in-house and be corrected before the customer takes possession. The second stage is called the constant failure rate stage, the random causes stage, or the useful life stage. During the useful life stage the failure rate is approximately constant. Note that the failure rate is not necessarily zero. Reducing the failure rate during this stage usually requires changes in product design. The third stage is called the wear-out stage, fatigue stage, or the increasing failure rate stage. The wear-out stage is characterized by an increasing failure rate over time. These failures are caused by product or component fatigue. These stages are depicted in the bathtub curve, illustrated in Figure 2.

Note: although the useful life stage is sometimes referred to as the random causes stage, random causes are generally present during all three stages. Early failure stage Useful life stage 23 Wear-out stage Time Figure 2. Each of these items relates to costs in some way, so insight gained from the bathtub curve can have a direct impact on financial performance. Data are used to determine the shape of the bathtub curve, including locating the boundaries between the stages. Reliability engineers try to change the curve by improving the product. They typically do one or more of the following: 1. Improve the early failure phase by shortening its length and giving it a flatter slope.

Improve the useful life stage by decreasing the constant failure rate. Failure data are studied to determine the most frequent failure types. Improve the wear-out stage by delaying its onset and flattening the curve. The timing and steepness of the failure rate curve is generally a function of design. However, the wear-out phase can often be postponed somewhat and its slope reduced by more aggressive preventive maintenance and component replacement schedules. Reliability Program Management 24 Part I: Reliability Management A batch of light bulbs has a constant failure rate of. Find the reliability after hours of service. About how many bulbs have burned out at the end of the hour period? Typically, a relatively large number of faults are identified in the early stages of testing, and as this phase continues, the number of faults decreases.

At some point the product is released to customers, at which point faults continue to crop up, sometimes at a higher rate than before release. The software package may continue to be used until other considerations force its obsolescence. The typical reliability curve for a software product is shown in Figure 2. Software reliability engineering attempts to improve the reliability curve in Figure 2. Obviously, it is better to prevent errors than to detect faults. Many errors can be Test phase Useful lifetime assuming continuous improvement Failure rate Part I. The testing protocol must test every requirement at least once.

Adequate resources must be provided to allow for complete testing. Concept As the earliest design parameters are established, preliminary estimates of reliability requirements should be made. Design Team Effort As the more formal design phase is initiated, the reliability engineer should be prepared to provide the team with guidance and judgment regarding various options. Data on the reliability of proposed components and the implications for product reliability should be documented for the team at each design refinement. The allocation of reliability requirements to various subsystems and components Part I. The requirements should be stated in terms of imperatives—statements that command that something must occur. Weak phrases that can be interpreted in more than one way should be eliminated from a requirements document.

In addition, the requirements should be structured much like a good modular quality program. Developing a high-quality requirements document is worth the effort. A software team that begins with a good set of requirements can still introduce errors, of course. General rules for software code include: Part I. The underlying mind-set must be to formally study every potential failure and establish cost-effective ways of preventing them. The two general approaches to failure prevention are fault tolerance and fault avoidance. A fault-tolerant approach requires design of redundant systems so that a fault does not result in a failure. Dual master cylinders in an automotive braking system is an example of a fault-tolerant system. The fault-avoidance approach requires designing the product with components that are sufficiently reliable to guarantee the minimum product reliability. This may be accomplished, for example, by using heavier structural pieces, more reliable components, derating, and other techniques.

Reliability growth during the design process should be documented. Design Review Reliability engineers should provide the design team with data from testing of the final version of the product, validating that the design meets the reliability requirements. Preproduction Alternative manufacturing processes and parameters should be studied for their impact on reliability in order to meet or exceed design requirements. Production A testing program should be established to verify that production output meets reliability requirements. Postproduction Once a product is released for production, a system for follow-up should be in place so that any failures, in-house or in the field, can be studied. One approach to doing this is known as failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action system FRACAS. A system that permits traceabilty of individual components helps establish sources of failure due to design, production, service, customer misuse, and so on.

The thrust should be not to fix the blame but to fix the problem. Thorough, documented design requirements help assure customer satisfaction. The purpose of design evaluation is to verify that the product meets the requirements at each design stage. Four types of evaluation are listed below: 1. Environmental stress screening. The unit is exposed to the most severe design environmental stresses. In some cases accelerated life testing may be used see Chapter 11 for details. The purpose is to identify weak components.

Reliability Program Management 27 3. Reliability qualification tests also called reliability demonstration tests. Conducted on a sample from production to determine whether production units meet reliability requirements. These tests serve as a basis for production approval. Production reliability acceptance tests. A periodic test during production to determine whether the output continues to meet reliability requirements. Meeting a customer requirement is often a matter of degree, and in some cases may conflict with other requirements. For instance, in the example shown in Figure 1. If the product is already far ahead of the competition in meeting one Part I. A series of tests conducted periodically from design through production phases to demonstrate the impact of corrective actions on reliability.

This strategy must be used carefully because the competition is seldom a fixed target. Meeting reliability design requirements within time and resource constraints requires an efficient testing and documentation program. The tasks associated with the program must be accomplished in synchronization with other design, development, and manufacturing functions. These tasks must be given adequate priority at each stage of design if unpleasant late-term surprises are to be avoided. The project manager is typically responsible for assuring that these needs are fulfilled at the appropriate stages. Software Images icon An illustration of two photographs.
