What is Reliability
To the user of a product, reliability is problem free operation Reliability is a function of stress To efficiently achieve reliability, rely on analytical understanding of reliability and less on understanding reliability through testing
Reliability in Logistics
Reliability Definitions
Reliability is a characteristic of an item, expressed by the probability that the item will perform its required function under given conditions for a stated time interval. (Prof. Dr. Alessandro Birolini, 1999) The probability that an item will perform a required function without failure under stated conditions for a stated period of time. (Patrick D. T. OConnor, 1992)

Reliability in Logistics
The probability that an item will perform its intended function for a specified interval under stated conditions. (Reliability Analysis Center and Rome Laboratory, 1993) The rigorous definition has four parts:
1. Reliability is the probability that a system 2. will demonstrate specified performance 3. For a stated period of time 4. when operated under specified conditions. (Daniel L. Babcock, 1996)

How is Reliability Used
It is used to define the longevity of a product and the associated cost it incurs It helps identify risk of the product for both the consumer and producer It incorporates statistics to better identify how much give or take can go into a product or service - usually, the higher the reliability, the higher the initial cost.

System Reliability Models
The reliability definitions, concepts and models presented apply at any level of a system, from a single discretecomponent up to and including the entire system
28
Reliability in Logistics
Systems reliability deals with the reliability of the end-item system and is based on the system configuration and component failure rates as well intended service usage There are two basic types of reliability configurations
Series Parallel or Redundant
29
Reliability in Logistics
Series Configuration
Simplest and most common structure in reliability analysis Functional operation of the system depends on the successful operation of all system components Note: The electrical or mechanical configuration may differ from the reliability configuration

Series Reliability configuration with n elements: E1, E2, ..., En Block Diagram:

Since a single path exists, the failure of any element in the system interrupts the path and causes the system to fail

Parallel Configuration
Redundant reliability configurationsometimes called a redundant reliability configuration. Other times, the term redundant is used only when the system is deliberately changed to provide additional paths, in order to improve the system reliability.
37
Reliability in Logistics
Basic assumptions
All elements are continuously energized starting at time t = 0 All elements are up at time t = 0 The operation during time t of each element can be described as either a success or a failure, i.e., degraded operation or performance is not considered
