    Study Notes

    Quality

    • Quality is about how well a product or service meets its intended purpose.
    • It's measured by how much the product or service satisfies stated or implied needs.
    • Fitness for use (Juran) means the product is useful for its intended purpose
    • Conformance to requirements (Crosby) refers to the product meeting specified standards.
    • Loss to the society after a product is shipped (Taguchi) considers the impact of product defects.
    • Quality is measured by defect levels, like parts per million (ppm) when products reach customers.

    Reliability

    • Reliability is how likely a product is to perform as intended for the specified time under given conditions.
    • It is measured by the probability of failure-free performance.
    • Bx life is the time period during which x% of parts are likely to fail.

    Reliability: Design and Development

    • Design and development should include reliability aspects through methods like Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), design reviews, reliability validation and demonstration tests.
    • Highly Accelerated Life Tests (HALT) are useful for discovering failure modes early in the design phase.
    • Test to failure is recommended by many experts because it provides valuable insights for continuous improvement.
    • **Burn-in, Environmental Stress Screening, and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) ** methods help reduce early life failures due to manufacturing defects and uncertainties.

    Reliability: Development

    • Reliability targets are allocated for subsystems based on the system reliability goals.
    • Subsystem evaluation and validation are guided by these targets.
    • These targets also define reliability and durability goals for suppliers.
    • Analysis of past field and in-house test data is valuable in determining target allocation.
    • Analytical models and reliability predictions can be used during development, including computer-aided design (CAD), finite element analysis, physics of failure (POF) models, and simulation studies.

    Reliability: After Launch

    • Continual reliability monitoring is essential after product launch.
    • Field data analysis using Weibull analysis or other statistical tools helps estimate failure rates and warranty costs.
    • Root cause analysis of field failures should be performed to identify and implement corrective or preventive actions.
    • Maintainability and availability goals should also be monitored by calculating and tracking Mean Time To Restore (MTTR).
    • Unforeseen failures in the field are considered early warning signs requiring attention.

    ASQ Code of Ethics

    • Honesty and impartiality in serving the public, employers, customers, and clients is paramount,
    • Increasing competence and prestige of the quality profession is a priority,
    • Utilizing knowledge and skills for human welfare is a guiding principle.

    ASQ Code of Ethics: Tenets

    • Public Safety: Holding paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public in professional duties.
    • Competence: Performing services only within areas of competence.
