This presentation covers:
• What is DfR?
• Need for DfR program in medical industry
• 5 successful Paradigms that have high ROI
• Paradigm 1 – Comprehensive Requirements
• Paradigm 2 – Critical failure is not an option
• Paradigm 3 – Reliability in terms of total cost
• Paradigm 4 – Design for Durability
• Paradigm 5 – Design for Prognostics
The Solution
• assess the customer’s situation
• develop goals
• write program plan
• execute program plan
All focused on developing reliable products and improving customer satisfaction
• Introduction

Identify
• Goal: quantitavtively define the reliability requirements for a product as well as the end-user environmental/usage conditions.
• Customer expectations and how to translate them into engineering metrics (e.g., survive 15 years life).
• Identify technology limitations (e.g., battery, optics, specific components, etc.) and the relevant validation strategies.
