Reliability - From Factory to Target

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1967
<div class="htmlview paragraph">The importance to reliability of such factors as vendor selection, parts screening tests, electronic packaging selections, in-process inspection and test, and maintenance by the user, to name a few, is loudly proclaimed, yet accurate quantitative assessment has not been achieved.</div> <div class="htmlview

Weather Normalization of Yearly Reliability Targets

2007 IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 2007
One of the major factors that drive the variableness in utility reliability metrics is weather. Since this is the case, internal utility reliability metric targets are then also sensitive to both the number and severity of inclement weather throughout the year. Most utilities would like to see a time series trend of reliability without the influence of

Reliability Targets for a Calibration Program

Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium, 1984. Proceedings., 2005
The reliability of test equipment being in tolerance increases as the test equipment are calibrated more frequently. This results in a higher calibration cost. On the other hand, less frequent calibrating increases the cost due to unknown out-of-tolerance test equipment in use.

Function based reliability targets under budgetary constraints

2015 Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS), 2015
The method presented here as summarized by means of the flow chart in Figure 1 is able to derive subsystem target reliability levels and thereafter the system's reliability target based on value to the customer and warranty budgets. Reliability targets are determined based on value to the customer per function while at the same time considering ...

Target Reliability for Existing Civil Engineering Systems

2016 Second International Symposium on Stochastic Models in Reliability Engineering, Life Science and Operations Management (SMRLO), 2016
Specification of the target reliability levels is one of the key issues of the assessment of existing systems. ISO 2394:2015 indicate procedures for specification of the target reliability levels by optimisation of the total cost related to an assumed remaining working life of a structural system.

Target structural reliability in life cycle consideration

International Journal of Risk Assessment and Management, 2007
The concept of minimising life cycle cost can be rationally applied to determine a target reliability of structures. However, there has been a recent legal requirement to reduce CO2 emissions, therefore, the minimisation of life cycle CO2 emission could be an alternative approach in structural design.

Sensor system optimization to meet reliability targets

Microelectronics Reliability, 2018
Abstract In this work, we show the influence of sensor system measurement uncertainties to sensor system reliability and ways to meet reliability targets. A general model to handle measurement uncertainties is defined and the according influence to reliability is presented, which is defined as probability of meeting specification requirements ...

Towards an Acceptable Pipeline Integrity Target Reliability

Volume 2: Pipeline Safety Management Systems; Project Management, Design, Construction and Environmental Issues; Strain Based Design; Risk and Reliability; Northern Offshore and Production Pipelines, 2016
Integrity reliability analysis is becoming an important component of effective pipeline integrity management systems. It aims at utilizing reliability engineering to address integrity uncertainties and check pipeline reliability measures against safety objectives/targets.

Reliability allocation using analytical target cascading method

2009 16th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, 2009
Analytical target cascading (ATC) is a methodology for translating system design targets to design specifications for the elements comprising a decomposed engineering system. The paper introduces ATC to the application on the reliability allocation and presented a new algorithm based on exterior penalty function, called ATC-EPF.
