Journal of Business Ethics, Vol. 12, No. 10 (Oct., 1993), pp. 761-769 (9 pages) This paper argues that the concept of reliability provides a useful framework for analyzing defects in organizational ...

Reliability and safety are two inter-relatable terms that define the overall effectiveness of any working system ― be it an electrical system, mechanical system, or a combination of both. The concept ...

Motion System Design turns to industry experts for some tips on how to get long life and high reliability from a design. MANNING/OMRON: Historically, lifetime has meant decades of service for ...

Faster processors, lowered power targets and shrinking technology have increased the complexity of integrated circuit (IC) reliability analysis. With the 20nm node becoming mainstream, IC design teams ...

In 2018, I had to replace some failed components on a 25-year-old HP34401A DMM. Two capacitors failed, taking out diodes as well. That was the third instance of having to replace failed capacitors ...

Mathematical optimization plays an important role in engineering design, leading to greatly improved performance. Deterministic optimization however, can lead to undesired choices because it neglects ...

When it comes to process-control systems, reliability is crucial and failure can be costly or dangerous. A combination of good design practices, component selection, and testing can enhance ...

Context-aware checks integrate physical and electrical information to evaluate a wide range of design conditions, from advanced design rule compliance, to circuit and reliability verification, to ...

For decades, megaprojects in every industry have been designed to provide specific functionality or value with delivery and commissioning as the end goal. Large process and refinery projects, such as ...

Assume your task is to design a dc-dc converter with a defined reliability — at minimum cost. To succeed, you would have to prove that you met or exceeded the reliability target. You can do this by ...

Scientists working for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have taken many of the lessons learned during their exhaustive analysis of the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the New Orleans flood defenses and ...
