Reliability Monitoring for Development Projects.
J. T. Duane · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1962
Theoretical approach is developed for management control of progress towards pre-determined reliability goals during product development programs. Standards for monitoring are derived from empirically determined characteristic rates of growth for reliability on air-borne accessory types of products. The proposed monitoring techniques assume reliability goals specified in terms of a maximum allowable failure rate after some fixed number of testing or operational hours have been accumulated.
