The Trouble with Interfaces

Abstract

Carl and Dianna discuss the topic of interfaces, in reliability engineering and FMEA.

Key Points

Join Carl and Dianna as they discuss the different types of interfaces, and how they can be included in system reliability models and FMEAs.

Topics include:

• What exactly is an interface?


• What types of interfaces impact reliability?


• Physical interfaces, energy transfer interfaces, human interfaces, data-transfer interfaces


• What percent of problems occur at interfaces?


• The role of FMEA Block Diagram in representing interfaces


• Interfaces visually depicted in FMEA Block Diagram can be brought into FMEA as interface functions


• One of the FMEA quality objectives is properly addressing interfaces


• What energy is transferring between two items?


• How to display interfaces in system reliability model


• Discussion of which types of FMEAs cover which types of interfaces


• What concerns get entered into the FMEA


• Interfaces can be prioritized before bringing into the FMEA


• Functions can be prioritized before bringing into FMEA


• Make sure the most important interfaces are part of reliability analyses, including 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.
