Reliability Statistics
OBJECTIVES
A good reliability program can drastically improve product performance and longevity, and can ultimately improve customer satisfaction. This course will go into advanced reliability statistics from sampling plans and confidence limits to hypothesis testing and design of experiments, and will give an understanding about how to apply these statistics in order to develop reliability tests and analyze reliability data.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is intended for those involved in design, test, or analysis, who want a better understanding of advanced reliability statistics for the purpose of improving the reliability of their product.
