Design for Reliability (DFR)
Learn DFR for product development processes
Design for Reliability (DFR) provides a high-level overview of the DFR process and how to execute each step in the process, with instructor-led examples. The course includes a survey of reliability activities and their timing in a DFR process. Attendees will be introduced to the methodologies, tools and cross-functional roles that enable the DFR process.

Learning objectives
- Gain an understanding of the methods, terms and metrics used in reliability, when to apply reliability tools during the product development life cycle and the associated benefits of each tool
- Learn a holistic DFR process for product/system design environments and how to leverage the benefits of this process with the practical application of the ReliaSoft platform
- Evaluate attendee strengths in each methodology, which will serve as a guide for any additional skills that need to be acquired or augmented
