Plan for reliability right from the start
Making products reliable means setting the right course right from the design process. Design for Reliability (DfR) ensures that potential causes of failure are identified and rectified at an early stage. With well thought-out reliability management, this approach is continued throughout the entire life cycle.
What DfR does
DfR integrates reliability directly into product development. This helps to avoid problems later on and significantly reduce costs.
- Identification of potential causes of failure
- Root cause analysis and reliability calculations
Implementation of design improvements for greater durability - Minimisation of failures during use
Reliability management in the life cycle
A solid reliability management system is required for DfR to be effective in the long term. This accompanies the product from development through to use in the field.
- Definition of reliability targets
- Carrying out analyses and calculations
- Design of tests and test procedures
- Reliability monitoring during the test phases
- Implementation of maintenance programs
- Monitoring reliability during operation
Our approach
We work with you to develop a reliability roadmap – a reliability process that is tailored to your organization. We take into account your current status, your goals and best practices from your industry.
- Analysis of existing processes and activities
- Definition zentraler Vorgehensweisen und Pilotprojekte
- Implementation of operational measures to safeguard results
- Expansion into a manual for a standardized approach within the company
Your benefit
With DfR and structured reliability management, you can ensure that your products meet the required reliability over their entire service life. At the same time, you create clear processes that are understandable internally and can be continuously improved.
This approach is particularly important in industries such as automotive, energy and defense, where long-term usability and safety are crucial. In combination with reliability testing, the result is an end-to-end concept – from development to operation.
