Reliability and Tolerance Analysis
Tolerance specification communicates the allowance for part variation. Variation happens, and when it is within what we expect, great.
Description
This one is for those involved with the design of electronics. Clustering a few standard components is a standard way to bring functionality to your product, yet considering how those components may fail is important to create a robust and reliability product.
Derating is the method of selecting components with sufficient rating to withstand variations in stress(es) they may experience. Let's explore why derating is important, the difference it can make, and a few methods to implement derating with your design team.

Early and often during product development, the team needs to know the expected and meaningful reliability prediction of the current design.
One of the challenges for reliability engineering in product development is reliability integration into the product development process.
How a focus on variability with process control, process capability and tolerances helps to improve reliability.

If a person is not able to interact with your product, with or without the manual, they may consider your product a failure.
