The discipline of reliability engineering has not kept pace with modern technology. Many ideas on reliability engineering are today no longer relevant, and some reliability engineering activities are even fundamentally flawed. For example, many engineers believe that all parts have failure rates, making product failure inevitable. While this statement may be correct in theory, it is totally irrelevant in the real world. As a result of many misleading or even erroneous assumptions, reliability engineering evolved into a discipline where many “stupid” activities are practiced every day. This chapter briefly discusses aspects, which may help you to avoid common mistakes in reliability engineering.

ANSI/GEIA-STD-0009-2008, Reliability Program Standard for Systems Design, Development, and Manufacturing, can be referenced to develop a reliability program plan. This standard addresses not only hardware and software failures but also other failure causes during manufacturing, operations, maintenance, and training. ANSI/GEIA-STD-0009, Reliability Program Standard for Systems Design, Development, and Manufacturing, can be referenced for this purpose (Information Technology Association of America 2008). This standard supports a system life cycle approach to reliability engineering, and consists of four parts with the following objectives.
