I was recently talking with my colleague Fred Schenkelberg from FMS Reliability (this conversation can be heard here), about a plane that he had never heard of. Most of the world hasn’t heard of it. And there is a reason you probably haven’t either. The plane in questi...
There is a reason we pay to watch movies … but not read engineering reports.
Engineers often write reports as if they are writing a movie. They often try to introduce a chronological flow. They start at the beginning by explaining the problem. The work on the middle w...
The Minnesota Reliability Consortium is a division of the IEEE Reliability Society, and is also supported by the Minnesota Section of ASQ. They host a monthly presentation from reliability professionals on a wide array of topics.
Join Chris and Fred as they discuss the difference that sets apart those really great reliability programs from others. Perhaps when we think of reliability engineering – we focus too much on engineering. But in practice, a reliability program is both the remedy to a p...
Join Chris and Fred as they discuss the different backgrounds associated with ‘experience’ based reliability engineers versus those with academic backgrounds (noting that many often have both). The ‘typical’ shortcomings associated with exclusively academic reliability...
Accendo Reliability is a reliability engineering professional development hub. Amongst many other resources, it hosts a number of reliability engineering related podcasts. One such podcast is the 'Dare to Know' series. Chris Jackson was interviewed by Accendo's Tim Rod...
There is only one answer to this: Do everything possible to identify and replicate failure throughout the design process.
This piece of advice has a couple of layers ... but lets start with the obvious one. We often use the term 'physics of failure' when talking about r...
