Folks,
The reason I have been going down the reliability trail and ending up with
most all the answere I expected, is that we have a customer wanting easy
MTBF answere. As you all, especially Sir Werner, have so delicately
indicated: There ain't no easy way though most all data has been capatured
by one or more people regarding reliability.
Unfortunately, our customer has heard of a software package called Relex. I
know, I know, you can't predict something this easily. The customer got wind
of the package and can't understand why we don't know about it or aren't
using it. It is:

Rapid R, M and LCC Analysis:
Generate an FMEA, R&M prediction and LCC estimate in a matter of hours. So
easily, in fact, that these analyses can be prepared as a part of your
proposal process. Easy report sorting provides the ability to quickly
identify any project's likely R, M or LCC drivers.

Easy FMEA Preparation:
A preliminary failure modes and effects analysis, sorted by risk priority
number, can be produced for review by a cross-functional team in less than
1/2 day.

Link the Future to the Past:
Relex provides the ability to store and easily reuse your product's R&M
characteristics, their known failure modes, causes and even "lessons
learned". When you generate a new FMEA or prediction with Relex, it
automatically includes this actionable data in your analysis.

Simple LCC Analysis:
Life cycle cost analyses that are so simple to prepare that the LCC of your
equipment can actually become a meaningful design consideration. You can
quickly compare the life cycle cost of multiple design choices to determine
which is best from a total cost standpoint.

Re-use Past Analyses:
Reuse completed FMEAs and predictions from past projects, or even
subassemblies of past projects, through an intuitive "drag and drop"
functionality. This enables you to assemble FMEAs, R&M predictions and LCC
analyses from your company's (or your supplier's) standard subassemblies all
with the click (and drag) of a mouse!

Design, Manufacturing & Supplier Control Plans:
Reports that identify the design verification and validation activities,
manufacturing quality control or supplier controls required to ensure
machine reliability can be automatically generated from the FMEA.

Data Import:
Automatically create new analyses by simply importing a bill of material
(BOM). Relex will automatically match the imported BOM data to your custom
libraries of parts and their failure rates, failure modes, and their causes.
I must give a presentation, via phone line, to some folks in the far side of
Asia tonight. No worries. I can put everything as delicately as Sir Werner,
or punt. What yardline and what line should I provide without:
1) Having to go there personally and present my lovable self and blame it
all on you.
2) Finding a way not to offend when we all know this ain't going to work.
I look forward to diplomatically correct answers so as not to offend, which
I often do.
