Reliability BasicsStandards Based Reliability Prediction in aNutshellStandards based reliability prediction is a methodology for predictingreliability for systems and components (mostly electronics) based on failurerate estimates published by globally recognized military or commercialstandards. Standards based reliability prediction is especially useful inthe initial stages of development when hard failure data is not yetavailable or when manufacturers are obliged contractually by their customersto use published standards for their reliability predictions.
Predict and improve equipment reliabilityThe Reliability Prediction module of Reliability Workbenchâ„¢ delivers rich insights to help you easily calculate and visualize failure rates for a set of components under given conditions, so you can prioritize equipment maintenance based on quantitative data and analytics. This tool makes it easy for you to:. Predict whether a design will meet reliability objectives and identify potential issues early in development. Compare system design alternatives. Consider stress factors that cause significant impact to system performance. Prioritize equipment maintenance based on quantitative data and analyticsThe prediction module provides you with a powerful visual interface through which you can select components and define the conditions in which they operate, such as the temperature or environmental conditions. The tool automatically calculates the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rate as defined by a selected industry standard and provides you with the results.
Introduction Traditional handbook-based reliability prediction methods for electronic products include Mil-Hdbk-217, Telcordia SR-332.
