Standards Based Reliability Prediction
Standards based reliability prediction relies on defining failure rates for the components of a system based on pre-defined standards, depending on the types of components, the use environment, the way the components are connected and the reliability prediction standard. These component failure rates can then be used to obtain an overall failure rate for your system.
Reliability prediction plays a major role in many reliability programs across government and industry. Over the past few decades, several standards have been introduced to assist in conducting this type of analysis. Lambda Predict from ReliaSoft facilitates reliability prediction analysis based on the major published standards. These models assume a constant failure rate (i.e. no wearout or early failures problem), which generally describes the useful life of a component where failures are considered random events.
