Level of experienced senior technician or engineer working on the quality or reliability of a product either in its manufacture or selection.

Technical or design office manager, engineer or project manager, reliability manager.

Learn a method to make an electronic system reliable. The approach allows to understand how to identify the product’s life profile, to carry out technological risk analyses in order to build a targeted risk removal plan (environmental tests accelerated by the use of mathematical models, robustness tests, component qualification…).

Engineer or project manager.

Projection and printed copies of Powerpoint presentations, practical case studies, exercises, situational examples, theoretical examples, video materials, etc.

Evaluation at the beginning and end of the course, quiz…

A training certificate complying with the provisions of Article L.6353-1 paragraph 2 is issued to the trainee.

5 working days before the start of the course (if OPCO funding).

INTRODUCTION

• Reliability definitions
• Failure, failure mode and failure mechanism
• Abrupt (catalectic) and wear failure
• Example of failure mechanisms
• Resistance/stress theory

SOME MATHEMATICAL NOTIONS

• Failure rate function l(t)
• Evolution of failure rate over time (bathtub curve)
• MTBF, MTTF
• Use of statistical laws and their limitations :
  • Exponential
  • Weibull

  • Ki²
  • Binomial

OUR APPROACH: “RELIABILITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

• Theoretical methods (MIL-HDBK-217, IEC 62380, FIDES)
• Use of REX
• Per test

OUR APPROACH: “RELIABILITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY
