Electronic Component and System Reliability Analysis

This two-day course provides industrial workers with the definitions, models and statistical tools needed for analyzing and projecting failure rates for non-repairable components and repair rates for repairable systems. Major areas covered include life test data analysis and acceleration modeling as well as reliability improvement testing and “Duane” plotting. Students with laptops will be able to practice analyzing reliability data using EXCEL templates and a statistical program package called SEMSTAT.

We offer this and all courses as On Site Training

WHAT THE COURSE COVERS:
  • Learn the definitions and life distribution models used for the statistical analysis of component reliability
  • Practice plotting and analyzing high stress censored life test data and fitting acceleration models to project use condition failure rates
  • Understand how to calculate a repairable system Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) with confidence bounds and acceptance test criteria
  • Learn how to make a Duane plot from reliability improvement test data and project the MTBF at the end of test
  • Become familiar with the reliability analysis routines in SEMSTAT and the use of EXCEL lognormal and Weibull templates for data analysis
  • Basic reliability concepts, terminology and the “bath-tub” curve
  • Censored data and probability data plotting
  • Exponential life distribution model - properties and uses
  • Weibull life distribution model - properties and uses
  • Lognormal life distribution model - properties and uses
  • Life testing and physical acceleration models
  • Fitting reliability models
  • Repairable system models and testing systems for Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) requirements
  • Testing for improvement or degradation trends
  • Duane plots and the reliability improvement slope


WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
  • This course is targeted towards engineers and managers who can benefit from using effective statistical methods to model, evaluate, monitor and improve the reliability of electronic components and systems.

This course includes a course manual with color illustrations.
*Please note* Each student must bring a laptop to use during this presentation!!
