Each product development project is different. Different features, customers, use cases, and expectations. Let’s discuss how to build a custom reliability program that fits your specific situation. “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” – attributed to Albert Einstein, basically describes many organizations reliability program plans. The idea that a set of activities will effectively address all of the reliability risks of a new design is all too common in industry. Why is this? Let’s explore recognizing the current situation and which activities will provide the most value. The focus should be on creating a product that meets customer and business expectations withe lowest risk and cost. In this interactive webinar, we will discuss a couple of different situations and how to develop and manage the right reliability program. Startups with brand new technology to mature industrial equipment families of products all have reliability performance expectations, it is how we create and execute the reliability activities in support of the project that is key. Each element of the entire program should add value, not done ‘just because we always do that.” With just a little thought you can create and justify a tailored plan. Join the discussion. This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 9 September 2014.
