What is Reliability Growth?

What is Reliability Growth?

What is Reliability Growth?

podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson

Sounds simple, right? And it is. Reliability growth literally refers to a process where we improve the reliability of a product, system, or service. But sometimes we find ourselves in situations where it is expected that not only do we understand reliability growth … but measure it. And predict how much it will grow in the future. This is sometimes called Reliability Growth Testing (RGT), Reliability Growth Planning (RGP), or Reliability Growth Prediction. And there are lots of equations and models for all these things. But do these models actually model the ‘real world?’ … can they work for you? … SHOULD they work for you? This webinar introduces you to the topic of reliability growth (both qualitative and quantitative) along with key concepts (like the Duane Failure Pattern) to help you work out if there is (or is not) a place for reliability growth in your organization.

CT E09 Closing the Gap Between IT and Quality – Delivering a Home-Grown Data Solution with Tim Sheehan

CT E09 Closing the Gap Between IT and Quality – Delivering a Home-Grown Data Solution with Tim Sheehan

CT E09 Closing the Gap Between IT and Quality – Delivering a Home-Grown Data Solution with Tim Sheehan

My guest on this episode is Tim Sheehan.

Tim is an extremely well-rounded quality engineer with significant experience in many facets of quality. More importantly, he has recently learned a set of skills that really makes him stand out from his peers and capable of designing, developing and delivering complete data solutions at his company.

With digital technologies gaining ground in the manufacturing floor, and pretty much everywhere these days, us in quality have this ever-growing need to become more data literate and even pick up advanced data skills, such as visualization, programming skills (e.g. SQL and R), setting up databases and data pipelines. And that’s exactly what Tim did; he took the initiative and picked up these skills and ended up delivering a much-needed custom data solution at his company essentially closing the gap between IT and the quality function.

In this episode we cover in detail:

– The details of and learnings form the data project Tim has been working on

– The difference between purchasing an off-the-shelf data solution from a vendor and being able to develop one in-house

– How the digital revolution is not necessarily just about data; it is still very much about people, for people.

– What a great data analytics solution looks like

– Why having the technical skills to develop a data solution AND the domain knowledge to know what to build may be the best of both worlds

– Tim also shares his advice with quality folks wanting to become more data literate and gain tech skills so they themselves can design and deliver data solutions at their companies

QDD 052 Discrete Data vs. Continuous Data

Discrete Data vs. Continuous Data

Once we’ve decided to control something (think of our prevention and detection controls), we then need to decide how to measure it. Different controls may need different measuring requirements, which can give us discrete or continuous data.

We treat these data types differently when collecting it, determining sample sizes, and analyzing it for results. Tune-in to learn more about how to take the next step in defining controls: figuring out how to measure it and considering the data.
