Reliability:the probability that a manufactured good, piece of equipment, or system performs its intended function for a stated period of time under specified operating conditions. • Several ways to looking at reliability: • First view: • Related to the probability of working properly when needed. • Second view: • Related to the life of the product (How long does it work before it breaks) • Probability of a product serving longer than a specified period of time Saba Bahouth – UCO
RP = 0.98 RL = 0.95 RF = 0.97 Saba Bahouth – UCO
Example of Overhead Projector RP = 0.98 RL = 0.95 RF = 0.97 RbL= 0.96 Rs = 0.94 Saba Bahouth – UCO
Probability of first component working Probability of second component working + x Providing Backups Rss = Rm + {(1-Rm) x Rb} Probability of needing second component Rss = Saba Bahouth – UCO

Availability The fraction of time a piece of equipment is expected to be available for operation. MTBF = mean time between failures MTR = mean time to repair Saba Bahouth – UCO

Improving Reliability • Component design • Production/assembly techniques • Testing • Redundancy/backups • Preventive maintenance procedures • User education • System design Saba Bahouth – UCO
