Reliability

Why the MTBF with Philip Sage

In this episode, Akshay Athalye of Reliably it Matters! speaks with Philip Sage.

In this podcast , we’re diving into the murky waters of Mean Time Between Failures, or as some of us like to call it, ‘Maybe This’ll Be Fine’. We’ll uncover why relying on MTBF can sometimes be as risky as trusting your umbrella on a windy day. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with some solid alternatives that won’t leave you high and dry!

Key Points

Join Philip and Akshay as they discuss the intricacies of MTBF and why these measurements of reliability are often misused in practice.

Getting it Right

Join Philip and Fred as they discuss the need to purchase, install, and maintain equipment with precision.
Topics include:

  • A mindset to get it right and enjoy the benefits
  • Alignment as an example
  • Rotating equipment benefits significantly with ‘getting it right’ attention to detail.

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.

Competing Risks or Not

Join Philip and Fred as they discuss the difference in data analysis and results when the dataset does or does not have competing risks of failure.
Topics include:

  • What are competing risks?
  • The extreme value family of distributions.
  • Does your software just assume competing risks?
