Abstract

Greg and Fred discuss why engineers plug numbers into a formula not really knowing why or what they are doing.  At best, this is called ‘plug and play.’  At worst, this is called ‘plug and pray’ the formula works.

Key Points

Join Greg and Fred as they discuss the challenges of why professionals see a formula and pray it gives them the ‘right’ solution, but not really understanding the formula.

Topics include:

  • What is ‘plug and pray.’
  • Why do engineers and professionals do this?
  • What are the risk consequences if the formula and problem solving approach is wrong.
  • What can professionals do to prevent this risk.

Enjoy an episode of Speaking of Reliability. Where you can join friends as they discuss reliability topics. Join us as we discuss topics ranging from design for reliability techniques to field data analysis approaches.
