Sensitivity Analysis on Reliability Prediction

SUMMARY & CONCLUSIONSBy using the sensitivity analysis, design engineering can be assured of,•Eliminating the weakest design parameter of the components at the early design stage•Improving product safety & reliability with a reduced overall failure rate of the product•Improving the robustness of design against failure•Cost reduction at the development stages•Avoid surprises of discovering failure during the reliability tests•Once the common issues are absorbed, nonetheless, this analysis can be a boon to design engineering understanding influential failure modes and associated failure rates based on the mathematical models, references/modification factors from experimental data, and cues from previously filed failure data. The result will be an improved design as an outcome of sensitivity analysis as the right factors or right parameters can be altered within constraints to yield a product with acceptable failure rates.
