AMSAA Reliability Growth Guide
Abstract
Reliability growth is the improvement in a reliability parameter over a period of time due to changes in product design or the manufacturing process. It occurs by surfacing failure modes and implementing effective corrective actions. Reliability growth management is the systematic planning for reliability achievement as a function of time and other resources, and controlling the ongoing rate of achievement by reallocation of these resources based on comparisons between planned and assessed reliability values. To help manage these reliability activities throughout the development life-cycle, AMSAA has developed reliability growth methodology for all phases of the process, from planning to tracking to projection. The report presents this methodology and associated reliability growth concepts.
