Reliability Activities
Setting up the accepted reliability characteristics of the system and targets plus defining acceptable failure rates and targeted system performance - crashes and freezes. Plus expected performance with respect to software applications to be associated with the system, Limits on conflicts and associated failures.
Analyzing proposed system designs with view to reliability standards agreed on. Comparing different designs and proposals with respect to reliability, predicting the favorable design reliability criteria and conformity to reliability specifications wanted.
Providing help with the breakup of the system into subsystems during design phase with view to maintaining reliability standards. Ensuring different departments and divisions allocations of subsystems' production does not compromise standards.
Setting up benchmarks for suppliers with respect to reliability, auditing suppliers' and performing tests on suppliers and subcontractors and relevant products to ensure consistency. Ensuring sufficient communications and interactivity between suppliers, subcontractors and different department within the company to maintain levels of reliability as required by the company's policies.
Testing the completed final system to determine reliability and providing feed back to designers on system's conformity to specifications. Running simulated conflicts and system crashes under severe environments power fluctuations and other extreme conditions as specified by the reliability manuals adopted by the company to determine reliability, Plus testing the system with different hardware and/or software profiles to determine flexibility...
