Abstract
The global competitive business environment has placed great pressure on manufacturers to deliver products with more features and higher reliability in a shorter time and at a lower cost. Reliability, time to market, and cost are three critical factors that determine if a product is successful in the marketplace. Customers have demanding expectations for reliability because it affects the safety, availability, and ownership cost of the product.
