14 DESIGN FOR RELIABILITY 14

15 The Situation Reliability is no longer a separate activity performed by a distinct group within the organization. Product reliability goals, concerns and activities are integrated into nearly every function and process of an organization. Each organization must factor reliability into every decision in order to ensure produce a successful product. 15

16 The Balancing Act Engineering teams must balance cost, schedule, performance and reliability to achieve optimal customer satisfaction. Reliability Cost Customer Satisfaction Schedule Performance 16

17 The Solution The Solution is in the following 4 steps: assess the customer s situation develop goals write program plan execute program plan All focused on developing reliable products and improving customer satisfaction. 17

18 The Solution $ Profits Program Plan Goal market share Gap Analysis Benchmarking satisfaction Statistical Data Analysis Assessment? Unknown? $ unreliability Now complaints field failures 18

19 Customizing Your Solution You may need to address reliability in these areas: Organizational These companies don t know where to start, and for this, we start off with an Assessment, and use it to determine how to structure a reliability program. Product These companies have a specific product level problem they need to resolve, from start to finish. 19

20 Organizational Level Individual Services 20

21 Solutions Packages Once an organization identifies their corporate reliability objective, we can choose one of our Solutions Packages to drive results with an end-to-end solution. We combine best in class industry approaches with a tailored selection of reliability techniques suitable for that organization. Industry Proven Complete Solutions Value Priced 21

22 Reliability Solutions Packages for Product Development The R&D cycle for product creation and enhancement requires integration of key reliability activities across all phases of a program. Next Generation Products New Product Lines Product Extensions Product Revisions Critical Component Qualification 22

23 Reliability Solutions Packages for Product Manufacturing As a product transitions to manufacturing, the reliability goals, models and test results become the basis for refining reliability screening, monitoring and reporting. Reliability Test Development Manufacturing Performance Assessments Contract Manufacturer Reliability Audits RoHS Conversions 23

24 Reliability Solutions Packages for Field Reliability Improvement Once the product transitions to customer shipments, field data must be monitored in order to drive reliability growth until the targeted reliability objectives can be achieved and sustained. First Year Reliability Growth Warranty Analysis Component Obsolescence 24

25 Reliability Solutions Packages for OEM/ODM Deliverables Ensuring that OEMs/ODMs supply components that meet your reliability specifications is one of the keys to successful manufacturing. Test Plan Development Reliability Audits Test Performance Improvements 25

26 Product Level Individual Services 26

27 Reliability Integration Services for a Life Cycle Phase The key to a good reliability program is encompassing reliability activities in each phase of the product life cycle: Concept, Design, Prototype, Manufacturing and then integrating each of these activities together into a cohesive reliability program. 27

28 Reliability Integration Services in the Concept Phase Reliability Goal Setting and establishing a plan to achieve the goals characterize this phase. Reliability goals are part business decision, part technology capability and part customer driven. Reliability Goal Setting Benchmarking & Gap Analysis Technology Risk Assessment Reliability Program Plan 28

29 Reliability Integration in the Design Phase Key to a reliable product is the many design decisions, and for each decision, designers balance reliability with cost, time-to-market and performance objectives. Reliability Models and Predictions (MTBF) Reliability Block Diagramming (RBD) Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Thermal Analysis Derating Analysis / Component Selection Tolerance / Worst Case Analysis Material Selection Design of Experiments (DOE) Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) Dynamic Analysis (modal, shock, vibration) Sneak Circuit Analysis (hardware or software) Software Reliability Warranty Predictions Maintainability/Preventive Maintenance Analysis Design Review and Retrospective Facilitation 29

30 Reliability Integration in the Prototype Phase Discovering design weaknesses and verifying achievement of reliability goals becomes possible with prototypes. Reliability Test Plan Development Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) Root Cause Failure Analysis Fracture and Fatigue Design Verification Testing (DVT) Environmental Testing and Analysis Package Design and Testing Regulatory Compliance Testing and Certification Test Fixture Design and Fabrication Thermal Testing and Analysis Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) Reliability Demonstration Testing (RDT) Closed-Loop Corrective Action Process Setup 30

31 Reliability Integration in the Manufacturing Phase As the product transitions to manufacturing, the reliability goals, models and test results become the basis for refining reliability screening, monitoring and reporting. Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) On-Going Reliability Testing (ORT) Vendor Reliability Program Assessment Repair Depot Setup Field Failure Tracking System Setup Warranty Performance Analysis Reliability Performance Reporting End-of-Life Assessment Lessons Learned Process Establishment 31

32 Reliability Integration for Specific Product Types - Semiconductors - Software 32

33 Reliability Integration for Semiconductors Even at the Semiconductor Level, Reliability must be considered in each phase of the Semiconductor Life Cycle. Development Phase BIR (Built In Reliability) DFR (Design For Reliability) DFT (Design For Testability) Product Qual/Volume Prod. Ramping Phase Develop Reliability Qualification Plan Develop HALT Procedures Design all h/w for Prod. Reliability Quals Direct the Reliability Qualification Process Conduct Failure Analysis Develop Statistical Bin Limit Control Product Maturity Phase Review/Direct Ongoing Reliability Monitors Direct Failure Analysis/Corrective Actions Propose Design Changes Evaluate proposed fab. process changes 33

34 Reliability Integration for Software Development As with the Hardware, Reliability must be considered in each phase of the Software Life Cycle. Software Reliability Goal Setting Software Reliability Program Plan Facilitation of Team Design Template Reviews Facilitation of Team Design Reviews Software Failure Analysis Software Fault Tolerance Facilitation of Code Reliability Reviews Software Robustness Testing Techniques Software Reliability Measurements & Metrics Usage Profile-based Testing Software Reliability Estimation Techniques Software Reliability Demonstration Tests 34

35 Reliability Integration for Specific Industries - Medical - Clean-Tech - Oil and Gas - Defense/Aerospace 35
