Investment in reliability program versus return – how to decide
0 likes226 views
The document discusses evaluating the trade-offs between investment in reliability programs and the potential returns, particularly in the context of new portable electronics designs facing drop damage. It emphasizes the impact of reliability on time-to-market, functionality, and avoiding costly halts in production, with a focus on estimating the value of reliability investments. Key considerations include the costs associated with design verification, prototype testing, and potential lost sales due to product failures.

- 4. Avoiding lost sales and development expenses HALT & TIME TO MARKET
- 5. Situation • New Design – no history • Portable electronics • Expect drop damage • Holiday market • 98% reliability over 1 year of use
- 6. Current Plan Design verification testing Accelerated Life Test 2nd prototypes Historically 25% of time discover fatal flaw 30 day delay
- 7. Proposal HALT 40% chance of finding major fault 1st Prototypes
- 8. HALT Value Cost of HALT Chamber access, prototypes, technician time, and failure analysis $24k Value of HALT assume $500k/day lost sales 30 days - - $15m 40% x 25% x $15m = $1.5m
