Been down the 217/218 road now awhile. You've got the "how to write it
stuff" that matters little to me. Then, there's:

Document ID:     MIL-HDBK-217F(2)    Title:     RELIABILITY PREDICTION OF
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT     Scope:     The purpose of this handbook is to
establish and maintain consistant and uniform methods for estimating the
inherent reliability (i.e., the reliability of a mature design) of military
electronic equipment and systems. It provides a common basis for reliability
predictions during acquisition programs for military electronic systems and
equipment. It also establishes a common basis for comparing and evaluating
reliability predictions of related or competitive designs. The handbook is
intended to be used as a tool to increase the reliability of the equipment
being designed.

I like this one because it kind of points to DFM/CE through SPC, if so
applied. Anyone have experience using this document and applying all/some of
its porported requirements? Is there a "concise" IPC counterpart or is it a
combination of several?
