Reliability Engineering versus Quality Engineering
podcast episode
I recently received a question about the differences and similarities and which discipline is better concerning reliability and quality engineering. Some say reliability is a characteristic of quality, while I say reliability is quality yet over time.
Both use statistics, both support design or operations teams, and both use an array of similar tools. At times, the difference is only in focus. Quality may focus on consistently applying a specific color shade on a surface, whereas reliability focuses on that color lasting over time.
Let’s explore similarities and differences and how to work together best to achieve results. Let’s discuss areas of overlap and confrontation. Let’s also examine how the different mindsets work or don’t work when crossing from quality to reliability.
