Abstract:

The principals of Design of Experiments (DOE) recently have been widely implemented as a method of increasing the statistical rigor of operational tests. The focus has been on ensuring coverage of the operational envelope in terms of system effectiveness. DOE is applicable in reliability as well. One area the 0009 advocates for is early in the product development using a Design for Reliability (DfR) process to design in reliability. Robust parameter design (RPD) first used by Taguchi and then by the Response Surface Community provides insights to DOE can be used to make a product/process invariant to changes in factors. Using the principles of RPD, new developments in reliability analysis and the guidance of the 0009 I propose a new application of RPD to DfR.
