In this special episode, Dr. Nadya Zhexembayeva joins us to talk about her work - Reinvention. What is reinvention? Why this framework is needed? and how it can be applied to the product development process.

Resources from Dr. Nadya:

Adam sits down with Guest Miki Rosenberg, VP of Strategic Technologies, Medtronic Surgical Robotics. In this episode, they discuss how to introduce & effectively execute Reliability Testing in a high-priority, fast-paced development program.

Guest Nelson Rego shares his perspectives on how to bring Reliability Culture into product development. Adam & Nelson discuss how to tie in specific outcomes of tasks to program goals, what to measure, and how to balance development with Time-to-market pressure.

Charles Jablonski from Mueller Water Products talking about Accelerated Life Testing (ALT). Example cases, Learnings, and how it ties within the Product development program.

In this informative episode, Charles Recchia shares his research paper on a new method to perform the Reliability Demonstration Test (RDT) with fewer sample units & higher statistical confidence. Adam & Charles discuss the method's implications on the overall Reliability program.

Episode Guest Leyla Mirmomen shares her journey to starting Optimuos and how her Engineering background has helped identify & provide services to clients. Adam explores how physics-based simulations could be applied to Reliability Engineering.

In this free flowing conversation, Dan Burrows shares his knowledge on Design of Experiments (DOE). What are the fundamentals & how is it being used in Relibaility Engineering.

How do you approach Reliability Testing for a bearing on a Robot System? This short episode discusses the different aspects to consider. L10 life is commonly quoted as a metric for bearing life. But to measure Reliability with confidence, individual operating conditions & system layouts should be considered.

A quick refresher on Weibull Analysis for Reliability Engineering. What is a Weibull plot? How are the results used in understanding the failure rates of the population? The episode explains a simple way to understand the complexity of the plots.

Red Cell is an idea used in the military to create an elite unit of outsiders to intentionally launch an attack on oneself to uncover weakness. Similar techniques are used in hacking competitions, Bug finding bounties, & banking sector security. How can we adapt this for Reliability Engineering & use it during product development? The episode explores some of the ways it can be used to improve product reliability.
