IEEE Boston Reliability

On Wednesday, December 10, 2014, evening, IEEE Reliability Chapter meeting at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, MA: "Reliability As Impacted by Phased-Array and Radar Breakthroughs," by Eli Brookner, who is an internationally recognized radar expert, author of four books, recently retired from Raytheon, and IEEE Distinguished Lecturer. Please visit chapter web site to find additional details http://ewh.ieee.org/r1/boston/rl/events.html

Reliability Society's monthly chapter meeting resumes on September 10, 2014 at 6.00PM with presentation on "Maintaining Quality and Reliability of a Complex Product through a Global Manufacturing Transfer” by Kevin Foy.

Kevin Foy will talk about moving leak detector builds from Lexington to Malaysia. Transferring a complex product from its design site to a LCC (Low Cost Country) manufacturing site is a difficult task. Performing the transfer without affecting Quality & Reliability is more difficult. This presentation will cover the Verification and Validation tasks necessary to assure the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), MTTF (Mean Time to Failure), and AFR (Annualized Failure Rate) metrics are maintained and/or improved during this time period. An actual example that was used at Agilent Technologies will be reviewed.
The meeting will take place at MIT Lincoln Labs, Main Cafeteria., 244 Wood Street, Lexington, MA. For meeting registration visit site http://www.ieee.org/bostonrel. Registration is required so that we can plan the pizza and beverages, but there is no charge to attend.
