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.

Barcode technology is an integral part of every industry. It has effectively replaced the method of manual entry. The usage of barcode has become inevitable

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....

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.
