Reliability Goal Setting and establishing a plan to achieve the goals characterize this phase. Reliability goals are part business decision, part technology capability and part customer driven. Benchmarking provides an external view of industry reliability programs, processes and standards in use, plus a view of customer expectations.
A reliability goal is a specific business target stated as a quantified performance level. This can be in the form of a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), Annualized Failure Rate (AFR), Dead on Arrival (DOA) Rate, or any number of different metrics. Your product team may or may not have reliability goals.
Benchmarking is the process of comparing the current project, methods, or processes with the best practices and using this information to drive improvement. The Gap Analysis naturally flows from the Benchmarking Analysis. Once we understand what is expected of the product in the industry, we must then compare that with current capabilities, and this becomes the Gap Analysis.
The identification, categorization and prioritization of hardware and software threats to achieving key reliability business objectives. An existing product may be heading into a new market or usage profile with unknown increases in product failure rates. To identify and establish an action plan to remove uncertainty and mitigate business risks involved with product technology reliability performance.
A Reliability Program and Integration Plan defines all of the reliability activities of a project including goals, methods of implementation, integration among each reliability activity, and schedule. All too often, companies have a list of reliability activities they want to accomplish during a program, but the activities are not based on any goals and there is no plan on how to integrate them together.

Myself and my company CoreTechs have had the opportunity to work with Mike Silverman and his company Ops A La Carte; partnering through client collaboration, projects, and placing qualified technical engineering talent (consultants) to assist his team(s). Mike is not only a long-term business owner and a good guy to do business -with-, but an author/expert in his business of Reliability Engineering, and related technologies. I highly recommend Ops A La Carte to any company in need of any Reliability Engineering needs, Reliability Testing, Life-Cycle Product Management, etc... 5 Star!
