Asking Questions Abstract Carl and Fred discuss another of the communication skills: how to use questions in your reliability practice. Key Points Join Carl and Fred as they discuss different ways to ask questions to connect with people, and explore information. Topics include: How you can learn by questioning Back and forth between the skills […]
If you furiously measure the wrong thing, you usually have furious customers. EV charging stations are routinely reported as having a 99 % uptime. But customers don't share this view of the charging station performance. And it comes down to getting reliability metrics right.
Redundancy and Culture Abstract Chris and Fred discuss the role redundancy plays in an organization’s culture … especially one that needs to maintain redundant systems and plants. Key Points Join Chris and Fred as they discuss how having redundancy (or perceived redundancy) in a system has on the culture of the people who use, operate, […]
Supplier Trust Issues Abstract Kirk and Fred discuss supplier trust issues Key Points Join Kirk and Fred as they discuss trusting your suppliers of components and systems to send you reliable parts. Topics include: Suppliers of small, discreet electronic components such as diodes, resistors, MLCC (Multi layer Ceramic capacitors) may have hundreds of customers using […]
What Counts as a Failure? Abstract Kirk and Fred discuss the analysis of what can or should be considered a failure. Key Points Join Kirk and Fred as they discuss the criteria for what constitutes a failure during testing and in the customer’s use. Topics include: Should all failures be counted? Many failures are apparent, […]
DFMEA and Assumptions Abstract Carl and Fred discuss a listener question about the assumptions that go into a Design FMEA, relating to manufacturing and assembly. Key Points Join Carl and Fred as they discuss assumptions that go into FMEAs, how they are determined and applied. Topics include: Question: if the product meets dimensions, do we […]
Listening and Reliability Engineering Abstract Carl and Fred discuss why the skill of listening is essential to successful application of reliability engineering.
