What is Reliability?
podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson
Everyone knows what reliability is. And that's the problem. We have used the term reliability' in normal, everyday speech since we were children. So that means we have decades of preconceived ideas about what reliability is (and is not). But that means there are lots of different ideas about what reliability is. Some people think this thing called the MTBF' is a measure of reliability (it isn't). And neither is the failure rate.' Neither are things called the L10' and B10' lives. So if you want to find out what reliability actually is (no equations) this webinar is for you!
This Accendo Reliability webinar was originally broadcast on 22 July 2025.
