There are a number of reliability engineering tools & methodologies that are routinely used by reliability engineering professionals. In this post we will give a brief overview of the most heavily used reliability tools. System Reliability Modeling & Reliability Block Diagrams System reliability modeling can help systematically predict the overall reliability…
Elon Musk founded SpaceX with the goal to deliver humans to Mars. In order to achieve that goal, SpaceX will need to lower the cost of rocket launches and increase rocket reliability. SpaceX has taken big steps to accomplish this by attempting to reuse its Falcon 9 first stage rockets…
Product reliability is essential for all complex products, but especially in the aerospace industry. The aerospace industry is growing with products including industrial or consumer drones and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Taking short cuts in reliability engineering during product development can have expensive consequences, not to mention safety implications. GoPro…
Delta Air Lines is one of the largest commercial airlines in the world with over 700 aircraft in their fleet. They also operate the oldest fleet of the big four airlines in the United States. An old aircraft fleet will have lots of reliability problems if not managed well. However,…
If you want to ensure the reliability of your critical assets and lower your lifecycle sustainment costs, it helps to have a reliability program plan. A Reliability Program Plan (RPP) takes into account all the best practice methods applicable to ensuring acceptable reliability in systems and products. The reliability program…
