The specialty of reliability engineering should be a key part of the development life cycle of any product. The failure of a product in the field can often lead to more revenue lost than earned by a company. There are cases where companies have lost billions of dollars due to a product field failure. Where does one start to get their arms around that?
This course will introduce the key concepts of reliability engineering as a discipline and as a specialty. This discipline should be considered as part of the development of a product, including supply chain and manufacturing.
Day one we will cover:
- What is the core concept of failure mechanisms? How are the failure mechanisms manifested? What are the basic physical reasons for failure? How concepts of physics play into how we can control and demonstrate time to failure. What tools, resources and equipment do we need to demonstrate reliability?
- Systems Engineering approach to defining system/subsystem/component risk analysis. FMEA, FMECA, FTA, STA. What do they all mean? What are the practical applications?
- Defining the reliability plan from the requirements documents. What are the “Critical to Quality” metrics. How we can determine the plan to be as efficient and effective as possible.
Day two we will cover:
- Probability and failure predictions. Introduction to the key tools.
- What is the best way to assure successful Validation and Verification (V&V) of medical devices?
- Analysis, data management, and ongoing metrics to assure constant quality and quality improvements actions. This is the author’s proven method of closed loop quality and reliability management starting with products that are already in the field.
Much of the material presented by the instructor is gleaned from “The Certified Reliability Engineer Handbook”. If any attendees are considering certification through the ASQ, this will be an excellent introduction to that core body of knowledge. The author’s own experiences as a consultant and trainer for Hobbs Engineering are also tapped into. As always, he presents in a straightforward and understandable way.
About your Instructor:
Aldo Fucinari has over 50 years’ experience in design validation testing, electrical engineering and environmental testing. He holds a BSCE degree in Computer Engineering and is an ASQ Certified Reliability Engineer. He has worked in various fields of engineering including reliability, verification and validation, process control, quality assurance, systems engineering, hardware, software QA and product development and is a senior member of ASQ. He was most recently a Principal Reliability Engineer with the reliability engineering team at Alcon Surgical R&D in Lake Forest California. He is senior consultant for RapidDiscoverySystems.com environmental testing consultants where he has worked with dozens of world class companies to implement design for reliability programs. The companies he worked with included bio-medical, computer, audio, aerospace, consumer electronics and automotive products.
At Seagate Aldo was part of the initial deployment of Seagate’s Design for Six Sigma program where he received certification as a Master Black Belt in DFSS and a Black Belt in Six Sigma process and transactional process. He has been an instructor in Six Sigma, Design for Manufacturability and Lean Engineering.
Aldo has long-term experience with suppliers and manufacturers that are equipped to do full HASS and HASA testing. He worked extensively with Dr. Gregg Hobbs to implement high volume HASS testing and HALT testing systems globally and has been a senior consultant and instructor for Hobbs Engineering for over 15 years.
