I have been given a consulting opportunity to develop a plan for a Reliability Department for a fairly large manufacturing company of Laboratory Equipment.
Since my background is in compliance I could use some advice on how to get started. 1. The goal is to hire one permanent employee and grow over time. What are some justifications/success stories/strategies for having a Reliability Department? 2. Assuming the goal is to have the best reliability department in the world, how do we get started? What are the stages which should be followed for developing a Reliability Group? What would staffing requirements look like for each phase? 3. The goal is to have this position report to Manufacturing Engineering. >From a compliance standpoint, this would be a conflict of interest. Does the same hold true for Reliability Engineering? 4. This department may include a global function. What is the best method to integrate this department globally? All responses are greatly appreciated Regards Joe Martin EMC/Product Safety Engineer ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
