Document Summary
Reliability of . 90. o intended. o o. This means that it has a 90 percent probability of functioning as. The probability that it will fail is 1 . 90 = . 10, or 10 percent. It is expected that, on average, 1 out of every 10 such items will fail: avail= 105/(105+4) = 0. 963, Cost/unit increase = 450/(0. 963-0. 9615) = ,000: availability: 100/(100+3. 6) = 0. 968, cost: 200. Reliability of a product or part is used in two ways. o. Focused on one point in time and is often used when a product or part must operate for one time, such as a missile or an air bag in a car. o. As the number of components in a series system increases, the product reliability decreases. Many products have a large number of parts that must all operate. Overdesign: enhance the design to avoid a particular type of failure. More durable and higher quality (but more expensive) material in a product. o product. o.
