Seven View Points and Reliability Engineering Scheme for Preventing Reliability Problems

We must make every effort to prevent serious problems of reliability and safety. The key to such prevention is “prediction”. There are two approaches to prediction: induction and deduction. The inductive approach includes (1) sharing experiences and histories, (2) abstracting and generalizing individual problems, and (3) utilizing incident information. The deductive approach is based on scientific theory and engineering technology. And these two...
