Does >the same hold true for Reliability Engineering? Bad move. Just as with Compliance the reliability function needs independence and needs to be involved at the front end of the developement process. If you are worrying about it with in the Manufacturing environment it's too late. >4. This department may include a global function. What is the best >method to integrate this department globally? Since reliability engineering is a specialization within quality being part of the corporate quality group is a good place. Dave Clement Motorola Inc.
