Abstract

Carl and Fred discussing when a Parameter Diagram is useful in reliability programs.

Key Points

Join Carl and Fred as they discuss the subject of P-Diagrams, what they are, and how they can improve system reliability.

Topics include:

• What is a P-Diagram and how does it relate to Robust Design?
• What are input signals in a P-Diagram?
• What are the types of noises in a P-Diagram and how do they relate to robust design?
• What is the use of ideal response in a P-Diagram?
• How are control factors used in P-Diagram?
• What are error states?
• Does P-Diagram map to FMEA?
• Origin of P-Diagram (Juran)
• When to use P-Diagram as input to FMEA

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.
