Day 1 – Design for Reliability (DfR) | | Registration | 08:00 | 09:00 | Registration | Session 1 | 09:00 | 10:30 | DfR introduction. Implementing a new methodology of rules check for complex products design in order to find and eliminate reliability design errors. Complying with the set of rules will ensure the robustness and quality of the end product. Generating knowledge base for rules and checks. Setting guidelines to implement the methodology in your organization. | | 10:30 | 10:45 | Break | Session 2 | 10:45 | 12:00 | Product specifications. Robust concept design starts with defining the full and correct specification of the product.
| | 12:00 | 13:00 | Lunch | Session 3 | 13:00 | 14:15 | Design for Reliability of electronic products. Connections between different technologies, grounds, polarity, stress violation, over design, open nets, short circuits, symbols, connectors etc.
| Session 4 | 14:15 | 15:00 | Layout of PCB's. Too wide/narrow, too thin/thick and shape of copper lines, grounds, planes, PTH/SMT, Vias, soldering, workmanship, etc. MTBF prediction. Selecting the correct method, compression between all popular models (M17, 217+, Bellcore/Telcordia, IEC-62380, FIDES, Siemens-SN-29500) Field MTBF. Collecting Field failures, classifying failures, components failure distribution, time dependent and random failures.
| | 15:00 | 15:15 | Break | Session 5 | 15:15 | 17:00 | MTBF/MTTCF/MTBCF definition. Typical errors are wrong interpretations of each parameter, and how to use it for logistic planning. Design for Reliability of mechanical systems. Multi-body static and dynamic, structural and non-structural applications, fluid-structures, aero-elasticity, biomechanics, kinematic restrictions, materials, environment, Thermodynamic, corrosion, etc. Functional design. Components/functions/signals failure modes and causes. Effects of failure modes on the behavior of the product. Avoiding critical errors with high severity.
Testability. The ability of products to detect and isolate failures. False alarms and "No Fault Found" (NFF) failures. The need for ATE. Safety. IEC-65810, To protect products from hazardous failures, Safety Integrity Level (SIL).
How to implement the rules checks model. Summary | | 17:00 | 18:00 | Reception and networking opportunity | | Day 2 – Design for Maintenance (DfM) | | Session 6 | 09:00 | 10:30 | DfM introduction. Introducing a new methodology of rules check for complex products design. Ensuring easy & quick maintenance including cost savings in product maintenance and warranties.

The intent of the Practical Reliability & Maintenance - PRM symposium is to provide an opportunity for professionals in the area of Design for Reliability (DfR) and Design for Maintenance (DfM) to become familiar with the latest developments and practices of R&M design. The symposium will enable the participants to learn different design and planning tools and how to apply them in the real world environment. PRM provides an atmosphere for all professionals to network and share their experiences.
PRM takes another look at reliability and maintenance. What makes PRM unique compared to other conferences is the ability to take reliability/maintenance requirements and electronic/mechanical products design theories and put them into a set of design rules, which can be checked by a "Design Rules Checker". You will learn what are the rules and how to create a solid R&M design plan. By inputting the (intended) design, the rules checker will check the design against the rules and indentify the design errors. All type of errors will be discussed from specification and functional errors to maintenance and sparing errors. In recognizing and eliminating these errors the product will achieve maximum reliability and minimum maintenance, as well as higher availability against lower cost.
There are discussions on how to handle technology changes and trends in your product reliability and maintenance design. It is important to address these challenges in a proactive manner rather than reactive. Is it enough to be concerned and focused on hard failures only? Should you just rely on failure rate prediction based on hard failures? You will hear approaches and techniques in reducing your product return and no trouble found failures.
Other discussions include how to create your product requirements. In general, any successful product starts with solid and clear requirements that derive the design.
Continuous measurement of product reliability through component and system modeling is not enough to make the product reliable. We will discuss techniques and tools that will enable you to build reliability, maintenance and availability in your design and be able to measure it.
Since companies no longer just sell hardware, warranties and maintenance related topics will be addressed. How should we look at reliability, maintenance and availability from the customer point of view? What are the challenges? What are the commonalities between different industries in design for reliability and maintenance. Is your organization equipped to deal with these challenges?
