Ignite your Reliability Engineering Knowledge

Welcome to Accendo Reliability – the answer to how you can improve your reliability program and career.

Fred Schenkelberg

Working as a reliability professional is a daunting task. Combining reliability engineering knowledge with nearly every other engineering discipline can be exciting and rewarding.

As I started my career, I focused on mastering the tools. My first accelerated test plan and results used a Wiener diffusion model and non-linear regression techniques. Presenting the methods and results, my boss asked, “What does it mean to our business and customers?” Hadn’t thought about that.

Mastering the tools is only one aspect of what we do. Effectively working with others and being able to influence and persuade at all levels of the organization are other key aspects of what we do.

Building on engagements that assessed and improved over 150 organization, this site provides you the benefits of that experience. You will find tools, insights, tutorials, articles, webinars and courses that will make you think.

Reliability engineering is more than statistics and a few tools. It’s about how and when to apply those tools for the greatest value to you, your organization and your customers. Here we will explore the broad expanse of reliability.

Improving Reliability Matters

Whether your career, your product or your factory, the cost of unreliability (of failures) is more than just warranty or downtime. The costs include loss of credibility or loss of market share.

The benefits of mastering reliability engineering enables you to expand you influence and impact with your career, organization and industry. Preventing a field failure may save your organization field failures or a product recall. Improving asset availability increases your facilities capabilities and value.
