Reliability by design a tool to reduce time-to-market

Abstract

Reliability of products plays a crucial role in retaining brand loyalty. The conventional approach to reliability analysis resorts to testing the prototype and entails long development time. This is undesirable for electronic products which have very short life cycle. Reliability by design using the stressor-susceptibility interaction model provides a way to address this dilemma. Management no longer have to forgo reliability analysis in the race to shorten time-to-market.
