RADC Reliability Engineer's TOOLKIT

The Reliability Engineer's TOOLKIT is an application oriented guide aimed primarily at the practicing reliability engineer but is also highly useful in providing others with a better understanding of R&M principles and techniques. It summarizes time tested reliability and maintainability (R&M) concepts and techniques for developing reliable electronic hardware. It applies primarily to advanced development and full scale engineering development projects. The TOOLKIT specifically covers numerous topics which will result in the attainment of more reliable and maintainable hardware. It addresses the practical application of proven R&M techniques which, when properly applied, will assist all hardware in meeting the R&M 2000 goals. The TOOLKIT summarizes, in the form of checklists, tables, and step-by-step procedures information needed during: R&M requirements development; contractor proposal evaluation for R&M; participation in the R&M design process. Keywords: Reliability program management, Source selection, Reliability requirements, Reliability design, Reliability analysis, Reliability testing. (aw)
