Key Points
Safety and Reliability Evaluation is done to show how to improve, how to save money.
Eliminate weak links Identify maintenance priorities
IEC 61508 Certification provides reliability and safety via design integrity
The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error.
Key Issues
Failure rates - HIGH STRENGTH Failure Modes Diagnostic coverage - online test capability Diagnostic coverage manual proof tests Common cause strength Software reliability
Activities
Get failure rate and failure mode data Build a model for alternative designs
