- 1. A measure of the reliability of a system or component, calculated as the total operating time divided by the number of failures.
- 2. The proportion of time that a system is operational and available for use when required.
- 5. The probability that a system, component, or process will perform its intended function under specific conditions for a defined period of time.
- 8. A systematic method for evaluating the potential failure modes of a system and their potential effects.
- 10. Methods used to manage and improve the reliability of a system during its development and operational phases.
- 11. A statistical distribution commonly used in reliability engineering to model the life expectancy of mechanical and electronic components.
- 12. A method for screening out defective parts or products through accelerated stress testing.
