• Should the design margin be 100% or 800%?
• “How does the designer determine the design margin?”
• Should we design for pigeons doing their dirty job?
• What about designing for all the other environmental stressors, such as chemicals sprayed during snow emergencies, tornados, and earthquakes?
• Should we design-in redundancy on large mechanical systems to avoid disasters?
• Should we design for sudden shocks experienced by the bridge during repair and maintenance?

Background:-

Design for reliability (DFR) has become a worldwide goal, regardless of the industry and market. The best organizations around the world have become increasingly intent on harvesting the value proposition for competing globally while significantly lowering life cycle costs. The DFR principles and methods are aimed proactively to prevent faults, failures, and product malfunctions.

Why should you attend?

In Japan, this tool is used to gain customer loyalty and customer trust. However, we still face some challenges. Very few engineering managers and design engineers understand the value added by design for reliability; they often fail to see savings in warranty costs, increased customer satisfaction, and gain in market share. These facts, combined with the current worldwide economic challenges, have created perfect conditions for this science of engineering. This is an art also because many decisions have to be made not only on evidence-based data but also on engineering creativity to design out failure at lower costs.
