This month’s Reliability HotWire includes the following topics;
Taguchi Orthogonal Array Designs
Taguchi Orthogonal Array (OA) design is a type of general fractional factorial design. It is a highly fractional orthogonal design that is based on a design matrix proposed by Dr. Genichi Taguchi and allows you to consider a selected subset of combinations of multiple factors at multiple levels. Taguchi Orthogonal arrays are balanced to ensure that all levels of all factors are considered equally. For this reason, the factors can be evaluated independently of each other despite the fractionality of the design. This article will show how to perform a Taguchi OA design using DOE++. Read more.
Using the Power Law Model for Data Analysis in RGA
The Power Law model is a popular method for analyzing the reliability of complex repairable systems in the field. In this article we first give a brief introduction to the Power Law model and we then give an example that shows how to use Power Law model in RGA 7 to estimate the conditional reliability of a group of systems.

Tool Tips
- How can I use BlockSim 7 to figure out how to achieve a system reliability goal?
- In Weibull++ 7, is there a way to perform a quick what-if analysis on a failure model without supplying data?
