27、 development of a product. This is especially true for a design that uses novel or unproven techniques, components, or a substantial content of software. In such a case the programme may expose, over a period of time, many types of weaknesses having design- related causes. It is essential to reduce
28、the probability of failure due to these weaknesses to the greatest extent possible to prevent their later appearance in formal tests or in the field. At that late stage, design correction is often highly inconvenient, costly and time-consuming. Life-cycle costs can be minimized if the necessary desi
29、gn changes are made at the earliest possible stage. IEC 60300-3-5, Clause 1 refers to a “reliability growth (or improvement) programme” employ- ing equipment reliability design analysis and reliability testing, with the principal objective to realize reliability growth. Reliability design analysis a
30、pplies analytical methods and techniques described in IEC 60300-3-1. Reliability design analysis is of a particular value, as it allows early identification of potential design weakness, well before design completion. This allows introduction of design modifications that are inexpensive and relative
31、ly easy to implement without consequences such as major design changes, programme delays, modification of tooling and manufacturing processes. The reliability growth testing and environmental arrangements for the test part of this programme are essentially the same as those covered by IEC 60300-3-5,
32、 IEC 60605-2 and IEC 60605-3. The importance of the reliability growth programme, integrated into the design or product development process, and known as integrated reliability engineering, is driven by limited time to market, programme costs and striving for product cost reduction. Although effecti
33、ve for disclosure of potential field problems, a reliability growth testing pro- gramme alone is typically expensive, requiring extensive test time and resources, and the corrective actions are considerably more costly than if they were found and corrected in the early stages of design. Additionally
34、, the duration of these tests, sometimes lasting for a very long time, would seriously affect the marketing or deployment schedule of the system. The cost-effective solution to these challenges is a reliability growth programme fully integrated in both the design and evaluation phase as well as the
35、testing phase. This effort is enabled by strong project management, by design engineering and often by customer participation and involvement. Over the past few years, leading industry organizations have developed and applied analytical and test methods fully integrated with the design efforts for i
36、ncreasing the reliability during the product design phase. This reduces reliance on formal and lengthy reliability growth testing. This technology is the basis for the integrated reliability growth strategy in this standard and will be discussed further in Clause 6. Some definitions and concepts are
37、 given first in order to lay the groundwork for discussing the integrated reliability growth methodologies. Page5 EN61014:2003 PROGRAMMES FOR RELIABILITY GROWTH 1 Scope This International Standard specifies requirements and gives guidelines for the exposure and removal of weaknesses in hardware and
38、software items for the purpose of reliability growth. It applies when the product specification calls for a reliability growth programme of equipment (electronic, electromechanical and mechanical hardware as well as software) or when it is known that the design is unlikely to meet the requirements w
39、ithout improvement. A statement of the basic concepts is followed by descriptions of the management, planning, testing (laboratory or field), failure analysis and corrective techniques required. Mathematical modelling, to estimate the level of reliability achieved, is outlined briefly. 2 Normative r
