Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss how short, 1-minute explainer videos could help reliability engineers … especially new ones!

Key Points

Join Chris and Fred as they discuss how people new to the topic can start immersing themselves in reliability engineering … but in an engaging and ‘easy’ way. We think that perhaps one (1) minute explainer videos might help.

Topics include:

• We usually start with asking you ‘what are you trying to do?’ But for people new to reliability engineering, that can be a problem. You might not know what it is that needs to be fixed. You might know that something is wrong when it comes to reliability engineering, but don’t know what it is.
• But even seasoned veterans can benefit from these sorts of explainer videos. The number of decisions that are being made that assume that (for example) the MTBF is a ‘relatively failure-free period,’ or is the ‘optimal servicing interval’ is astounding (these assumptions are wrong by the way). And this is often not those decision-makers fault (up until a point). The MTBF is religiously taught as a central tenet to reliability engineering ‘stuff.’ So why would they do anything differently?
• What do you think? Are there any one (1) minute explainer videos you would like to see? … or perhaps one (1) minute explainer videos you think your ‘boss’ needs to see?

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.
