Design for Reliability (DFR), Modelling and Reliability Prediction

Process scheme for the approval of a type certificate

” Reliability tools such as DFR  ensure that company targets and customer expectations for reliability are fully met throughout the life of the product with low overall life-cycle costs.

PROJECT: RELIABILITY MODELLING FOR BEARINGS AND SPRINGS

An advanced methodology was used to study the impact of design parameters to reliability of bearings and springs in depth .

The modelling showed that only certain parameters, the reliability prediction drivers, had a significant impact on the failure rate calculation.  These parameters were then used as input for DFR.

DFR is a six step process which helps achieve the company’s reliability target for its products, thus saving in warranty costs, occurrences in the field and effort during design phase.
