Reliability needed? HALT and go FISHing.
A weakness of Reliability Engineering methodology used by Six Sigma and ISO-9001 in their DFR, DFSS and DMADV or DMAOV initiatives is they focus on robust devices and modules, but miss FISHing. Amemco developed and has improve FISHing (functional interface stress hardening) techniques over the past 26 years and will help you focus where failures flurish. When a system is assembled and sent into the field, most malfunctions, failures and downtime occurs because of these 'interfaces', the junctions where components interface; with each other, with power, with I/O, with the environment, etc... The best way to Reliability is HALT and go FISHing. Take a FISHing expert with you.
