A Review of the 2018 ASQ CRE Body of Knowledge
The new CRE body of knowledge goes into effect in January 2018. With the additions, deletions, and changes to topics, it attempts to reflect what reliability engineering does daily. Let’s closely examine the new 2018 BOK and what it means.
With 13 topics partially or fully removed (like tolerance analysis and derating), in part, the new BOK suggested a smaller role in the design for reliability process. Some topics are good to see diminished, especially those that reinforce MTBF use.
On the other hand, the additional topics, such as leadership responsibility, are long overdue. While other additions, such as the quality triangle, make me wonder what inspired that vague topic. The new emphasis on risk management is in line with the sweeping change in ISO standards, so it was expected.
Let’s talk about the changes, including:
- What it means for those preparing for the exam,
- What does the emphasis on risk management mean for our day-to-day work and
- What it suggests about the discipline of reliability engineering in today’s world.
As always, an engaging and interactive discussion.
