Product Reliability Improvement / Seminar Training

Reliability is one of the least understood areas throughout the Electronic Product Manufacturing Industry, yet it is the most important.

If Reliability is poor and customer failure rate too high, companies spend excessive amounts of money on repairing units in warranty and keeping the customer happy, that they run the risk of going out of business.

Reliability Solutions focuses on EARLY LIFE Improvement to ensure maximum return on performance improvement.

The 'Bathtub Curve' is still accepted within the industry as a means of separating Early Life Reliability from Long Life and Wear Out, though many products / devices never reach the wear out stage as product life cycle is less than the time to reach the wear out point .

Failures during the Early Life period are often related to manufacturing errors and can be removed by effective process screening.

Failures occurring during the longer term life of the component / product are called random failures as they randomly occur independent of operating time. Unlike these constant rate failures, wearout failures are caused by mechanisms that degrade in performance gradually until the device does not function any more. Wear out failures and Random failures are not inter-changeable as they result from different failure mechanisms that represent different Reliability measures.

Reliability Solutions provides a quite 'unique' approach to Early Life Reliability Improvement, proven to work with many companies worldwide.

The key to success in optimising Product Reliability is:

All of the above are provided by the Reliability Seminars, which Reliability Solutions has provided to many Major Companies:
Samsung, Daewoo, LG, Hyundai, Tri-Gem, LiteOn Power, LiteOn Technology, Philips, AOC, Semco, Acer, Nokia, Astec Power, Atmel Semiconductor, Wolfson Microelectronics, Fairchild Semiconductors, Renishaw, Raymarine.

The seminars can last from 1.5 - 3 days depending on the detail that may be required, anything from a Basic Education plus development of effective Test Programme, to a very intensive seminar that covers all areas from Design, through Manufacture, then to Customer.

This type of seminar would be extremely useful to companies with an interest in REDUCING FIELD FAILURES and making their business more profitable.
