You should think though and completely define the concepts and terms in reliability engineering. This is about being exact with your knowledge. Mastering what precisely is meant by, e.g., MTBF, ALT, life data, censoring, etc., helps us to know our subject.

Part of defining a subject may include the history. What is the origin of a particular model or technique? What problem was a particular technique created to solve? How has it developed over time? Definitions may also include listing best and worse practices for implementation or may involve defining situations where the particular tool is most useful.

Having ready definitions in mind will also enable you to compare definitions with your peers and learn from the differences. In reliability engineering there often is more than one way to define a term.

Next Week: Reason

Knowledge comes from our ability to reason. You can do this. Sort it out, find patterns and find conclusions.

In the meantime, organize your world. Which issues need attention and how do they break down?
