TECHNIQUES FOR RELIABILITY MEASUREMENT AND PRE DICTION BASED ON FIELD FAILURE DATA. ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT RELIABILITY PROGRAM.

Abstract

The objective is to develop a method for measur ing the reliability of electronic equipment and the guide lines by which reliability can be pre dicted as early as the drawing board. Data used included Bureau of Ships Electronic Failure Reports, supplemented by field observations. The measured reliabilities of selected equipment models were found to be correlatable with the number, type, and application of their components. Predictions based on these rough correlations appear to be of the proper order of magnitude. (Author)
