Dependability and Quality Satellite Telecommunication Equipment Improving at the Production Stage

This paper presents the urgent problem of improving the developed satellite telecommunication equipment reliability and quality. An analysis of the approaches used in the Russian Federation and the United States to assess the “production quality factor” is made, that directly affects the dependability and quality of the telecommunication equipment. Particular criteria are developed to evaluate the efficiency of the quality management system at the enterprises. Recommendations for the implementation of the developed criteria in the mathematical model for assessing the “production quality coefficient” for the failures category related to the systems management process factor are given.
