Reliability engineering deals with an organized approach of time & Cost effective engineering methodologies over a span of product's lifecycle. Its basic purpose is to develop methods and tools to evaluate and demonstrate Reliability, Maintainability, availability Obsolescence management, Configuration Control Management (CCM) and safety of components, equipment and systems, as well as to support Design and Production engineers in developing these characteristics in the design stage.

The word "Reliability" is a broad term and has been defined differently by various Reliability scholars. Without intricating it further, we will try to understand the Reliability fundamentals in simple words. Reliability may be defined as The probability that an item will perform its intended function for a specified time interval under stated use condition.

Obsolescence Risk Assessment Process is a critical activity for effective management of Obsolescence and deciding suitable Mitigation Strategy. Here in this post, we will discuss a suitable Obsolescence Management process and its associated activities that has been designed based on years of experience.

An Obsolescence Management Process has various advantages if it is effective integrated to various stages of a product with an objective to tackle Obsolescence. With the increasing popularity and functionality of Commercial components in comparison to cost, the component obsolescence has been much frequent....

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is certainly going to impact our lives. Some say it will change the way we live for good while others think that it will lead to the end of human race. But actually what is this Artificial Intelligence? This post will...

One of the most important responsibilities of Reliability engineer is that he has to work in coordination with other Project engineers so as to ensure reliability, maintainability, availability, parts control, obsolescence management, configuration control etc of new product designs as well as improved designs of old products.
