Design for Reliability (DFR) is a comprehensive approach applied across various areas in creating products, processes, and applications to meet high reliability standards. From an engineering perspective, organizations can achieve consistently high performance and reduce maintenance costs through reliable and efficient solutions by incorporating DFR practices.
In this whitepaper, we consider the advantages of the techniques applied in Designing For Reliability (DFR). Planning and design teams apply the conditions that equipment will face in real-world scenarios for longevity and resilience to minimize weaknesses of products, services, and applications that can lead to premature failures.
While other concepts, tools, procedures, and techniques are also applied as part of Vertiv proprietary methodologies, these are the evident, more common DFR perspectives that practicing engineers outside of manufacturing may be able to best relate to. The scope of these insights is limited to best reflect the closest real-world scenarios by which these are applied for large UPS products and services.
