Abstract
The goal of any product development and design effort is to produce a product that will be successful in the marketplace, resulting in maximum value or utility to the producer of the product. In order to effectively achieve this goal, products must be rapidly and efficiently designed and developed and must be of high integrity. We can define product integrity as the ability of a product to meet or exceed a customer’s expectations for performance, quality and durability over the life of the product. The term product integrity was adapted for the text title in order to produce a focus on failure prevention in design and development, rather than on reliability calculations, which are often emphasized in reliability engineering texts. In this context, we will introduce a process for reliability assessment.
