            Design for  Reliability  Concepts, Causes and Identification                 Design for Reliability   What is Product Reliability? Reliability is the probability that a product will continue to work normally over a specified interval of time, under specified conditions. For example, the mouse on your computer might have a reliability of 0.990 (or 99%) over the next 1000 hours. It has a 99% chance of working normally during this time, which is obviously the same as saying it has a 1% chance of being faulty. A more reliable product spends less of its time being maintained, so there is often a design trade-off between reliability and maintainability. Reliability is extremely design-sensitive. Very slight changes to the design of a component can cause profound changes in reliability, which is why it is important to specify product reliability and maintainability targets before any design work is undertaken. This in turn requires early knowledge of the anticipated service life of the product, and the degree to which parts of the product are to be made replaceable. For example, a ballpoint pen could be: 1. Disposable. It will be reliable until the ink is exhausted, at which point it is discarded. Neither the ink nor parts of the pen body are replaceable, so the pen body needs to last n
