Reliability Program Planning
When the product is in the concept, specification, or planning phase it is essential that reliability testing be considered. Ensuring that reliability requirements are recorded early in the project, along with all costs, unit allocations, and expectations will mean that when it comes time to test there are no nasty surprises.
Reliability Planning Table
The following illustration provides cost information, along with unit requirements for each reliability service GMR Solutions offers. The monetary figures provided below should be treated as "ball park" estimates. For more accurate quotes please contact us and provide a description of your product, and application.
The unit allocation column outlines the requirements if you are only doing that particular test. If you are planning on doing many tests then units can be re-used for a variety of the tests below. Typically destructive testing results in a product failure that can be repaired. It is rare to damage a product beyond the point of repair during HALT, RDT, ALT, or test standard qualification.
