- Description
- M.Ing., This dissertation proposes a reliability management process for the development of complex electromechanical systems. Specific emphasis is the development of these systems in an environment of limited development resources, and where small production quantities are envisaged. The results of this research will provide a management strategy for reliability engineering activities, within a systems engineering environment, where concurrent engineering techniques are used to reduce development cycles and costs. In order to implement a successful reliability engineering and growth management process, the following objectives need to be met: To ensure that reliability is designed into the system under development by providing reliability design data to the system engineering and development teams. To optimise reliability testing resource expenditure by managing the reliability growth process through a design problem monitoring and solution management process. To ensure that system life-cycle costs are optimised through good reliability design choices. To provide an environment where reliability engineering is a integral part of the system engineering process so as to optimise the rapid development process while keeping development expenditure within acceptable limits.
