Demand for lower defect rates and higher yields is increasing, in part because chips are now being used for safety- and mission-critical applications, and in part because it’s a way of offsetting ...

As the semiconductor industry continues its relentless march towards smaller process nodes and more complex integrated circuits (ICs), the challenge of ensuring reliability has become increasingly ...

Widely accepted wisdom has it that electric vehicles are easier to maintain than those with internal combustion powertrains. It seems intuitive—EVs have many fewer moving parts than cars that have to ...

How can systems be designed to guard against unexpected downtime? How does system reliability impact product development? In what ways can artificial intelligence and machine learning improve system ...

When it comes to process-control systems, reliability is crucial and failure can be costly or dangerous. A combination of good design practices, component selection, and testing can enhance ...

[This article was first published in Army Sustainment Professional Bulletin, which was then called Army Logistician, volume 1, number 2 (November–December 1969), pages 8–11, 24–25.] “… in the process ...

Japanese cars have long been held up as the gold standard of reliability. For decades, if you wanted something that would run forever with minimal fuss, you bought Japanese. That reputation isn't ...
