  • What's Wrong with Using 'FITs' to Measure Electronic Component Reliability?

    What’s Wrong with Using ‘FITs’ to Measure Electronic Component Reliability?

    podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson

    Every industry has its own way of characterizing reliability metrics. For example, the ball bearing industry uses the metric B_10' to represent the time by which they expect 10 % of all ball bearings of a specific type to fail. Electronic component manufacturers use the term Failures in Time' of FITs' to describe the reliability of their products. But what is a FIT? And how can you use it to measure reliability? Did you know that many electronic manufacturers advertise FIT values' that imply a mean time to failure of over 1 000 years? If you are involved in electronic component reliability, then join us for this webinar!

  • Fundamentals of System Effectiveness

    Fundamentals of System Effectiveness

    podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg

    System or Operational Effectiveness is comprised of three elements. An early definition included capability, reliability, and availability. Another early definition included availability, dependability, and capability. In essence, can the system do what it's supposed to do? Is it ready when needed? And is it able to work without failure long enough?

    Let's examine system effectiveness and its factors or elements in more detail. Then, examine an example or two so you can apply this concept to your situation.

  • What's the Difference Between FMEA and FMECA?

    What’s the Difference Between FMEA and FMECA?

    podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson

    And the answer is not the letter C.' A FMEA is a group activity that follows a logical (and time-proven) structure to effectively brainstorm' what are called corrective actions' for existing or likely problems in design and manufacture of products. Production teams that comprise designers, engineers, technicians and manufacturers typically have a wealth of existing knowledge and understanding of the product being developed. But some people will tell you that an FMECA is not an FMEA. And many government agencies, in particular, demand FMECAs over FMEAs. Interested to understand the difference (if any) between FMEAs and FMECAs? and How can you make an FMECA work for you? Join us at this webinar!

  • Using Fault Trees to Conduct Root Cause Analysis

    Using Fault Trees to Conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

    podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson

    What is a root cause' of failure? It is something that you did (or didn't) do that ultimately resulted in failure. It's not corrosion (that's a physical process that follows the laws of nature that you can't change). It's not a porous seal that allows moisture to enter your product to cause corrosion (that's a defect or fault that you or your team made happen). Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is the process where we systematically work out what things we did or didn't do that allowed failure to occur, and Fault Trees are often very helpful in finding this root causes. If you want to learn more about RCA or how fault trees can help RCA, join us for this webinar.

  • Fundamentals of a Professional Development Plan

    Fundamentals of a Professional Development Plan

    podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg

    Professional development is not about pursuing a degree or title. It's about what you can do with your knowledge. Of course, that is my opinion. Some seek credentials that may lead to a new position or opportunities. Some seek knowledge without intending to use it – education for education's sake.

    Whatever the motivation, we should approach learning meaningfully. Set objectives, do the homework, get feedback or coaching, and establish a routine to continue to hone your knowledge. Whether you want to learn something out of curiosity or master a topic to accomplish a task, you can plan to use your time efficiently.

    Let's explore how to improve your ability to learn and continue to learn throughout your career. As reliability engineers, there seems to be a never-ending list of concepts, failure mechanisms, novel materials, etc., that we can and should know about. With so many options for professional development, let's examine a few principles and tips so you can learn and master what you desire to learn and master.

  • 3 Parameter Weibull Analysis

    What is the ‘3 Parameter’ Weibull Analysis

    podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson

    Some of you might have heard of the Weibull distribution. It is an uncannily accurate way of describing many of the ways components fail. It can model things that wear-in where failure is caused by pre-existing damage and defects in a fraction of products. The Weibull distribution can also model things that wear-out we failure is caused once enough damage has accumulated. And some of you might have heard of the 3 Parameter Weibull distribution.' But what makes this different and (sometimes) helpful? We are always wanting to improve the way we model things, including failure processes. So, to see if the 3 Parameter Weibull Distribution' can help you join this webinar!

    Understanding (how bad) the Exponential Distribution (is)

    podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson

    We often use probability distributions to help us characterize the likely values a random variable will have. This includes the random variable we call time to failure' or TTF, which is how long something works before it fails. Failure is a random process, but just because it is random, doesn't mean it's unpredictable. Products that wear-in will have vastly different probability distributions for TTF when compare do products that wear-out. So you need to have a good idea of the probability distribution of the TTF of your product when it comes to reliability engineering. But we often see in textbooks and standards the exponential distribution' simply being assumed as a good' TTF probability distribution. But is it? And what happens when it isn't but you use it anyway? Join this webinar to find out!

    Using FMEA (or Functional) Block Diagrams to Understand Your Item

    podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson

    Many engineers rush to design or build something that we think is awesome' or at least proves a concept.' But this often means we build something that we like (not necessarily what our users like) or doesn't work (because we didn't realize that have sensitive electronic components near hot exhaust manifolds would be a problem). This is where taking a breath and understanding our product before we build the wrong thing fast can really helpful. A FMEA or functional block diagram can really help us visualize what different parts of our system do, and how they interact. They also help us identify the basic, interface and additional functions that separate an average' product from an industry leading' product. If this is something you think you or your team can benefit from, join us for this webinar.
