WHY HALT
Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) is a proven method for compressing time by combining and accelerating environmental stresses, which the product will see in the field. HALT can quickly precipitate the failures that will occur on production models, unless modified, mitigated or redesigned. We will discuss important traditional HALT and important variations to “shake n bake” HALT procedures.
WHY GO FISHing Functional Interface Stress Hardening (FISHTM) provides a complete paradigm for understanding failure, failure modes, vulnerable and weak spots. FISH-CLIC provides a memorable model and specific methods showing “how” to implement the most cost effective mitigating corrective actions to yield reliable equipment, in the real world. Mr. Cooper helped develop this process for General Dynamics Land Systems and facilitates FMEA with mechanical, hydraulic and electronics design groups on a regular basis, but this seminar focuses on how to quickly find “Where” the weak spots are and “How” to cost effectively and dramatically improve reliability. Simply HALT and go FISHing.
CONTENT • Introduction – Need for Reliability – Needed before Production begins
• HALT – How to compress time by accelerating stress, to find earliest failures that will occur, unless the failure mechanism is mitigated.
• Selecting HALT stressors, doing; HAST, DALT, SFALT, TSALT
• How to mitigate failure mechanisms - Go FISHing
• How to FISH - How, why and where things fail and how to prevent failure
• Simply FISH-CLIC it and TSP, simple, memorable, effective methods
• FISHing for Reliability on Systems, Subsystems, and Components
• FISH for DFR, Designing for Reliability
• FISH reclaiming Reliability on OEM fielded products
• FISHing in the factory, data center, or hospital to eliminate 70-92% of your unscheduled equipment downtime.
• Catching more than “your limit” – 32 Years of Results
• Planning your first FISHing Trip.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND Chief Design Engineers, Systems Engineers, Subsystem Engineers, Component Engineers, Reliability Engineers, DFSS DFR Specialists, Logistics Reliability and Maintainability Engineers, OEM Equipment Maintenance and Service Reliability Specialists, Field Service Managers, FRACAS Specialists, Professionals with interest or direct responsibility for designing in reliability or for correcting reliability problems on fielded equipment.
WHAT THIS SEMINAR IS NOT This is not the traditional Reliability or Design for Reliability (DFR) seminar laying out the process of establishing reliability requirements, allocating reliability to lower level hardware, assessing reliability, closing reliability gap or growing reliability by modeling, FTA, FMEA, prioritizing failure modes (FMs) by RPN or Criticality Numbers and then turning in corrective action reports (critical FMs), back to design engineers to fix. Although a necessary process for managing large projects, this traditional DFR process usually takes so long that by the time corrective action reports, indicating critical FMs, are turned back to design, to fix, it is too late, or too costly to influence the design, or neither the design nor reliability engineer knows how to cost effectively improve the reliability.
