Last year’s least reliable company, Mercedes-Benz (M-B), stayed unreliable and was ranked the second least trustworthy behind Chrysler, given a woeful average predicted reliability score of 18 ...
Subaru paid J.D. Power to mention the results of their ranking in the J.D. Power Awards in 1984 and became the first company to mention their results in a television commercial, which aired during Super Bowl XVIII. According to J.D. Power, their rankings have appeared in more than 350,000 television commercials and two billion print advertisements.
Consumer Reports (CR) named BMW the top overall pick in its 2024 Brand Report Card rankings, with the German automaker becoming the first back-to-back winner since 2017.
MIL-HDBK-217F, Reliability Prediction of Electronic Equipment, is a military standard that provides failure rate data for many military electronic components. Several failure rate data sources are available commercially that focus on commercial components, including some non-electronic components.
2.0 Overview of Software Reliability Growth (Estimation) Models Software reliability growth (or estimation) models use failure data from testing to forecast the failure rate or MTBF into the future. The models depend on the assumptions about the fault rate during testing which can either be increasing, peaking, decreasing or some combination of ...
More recent work in the area of physics of failure has been focused on predicting the time to failure of new materials (i.e., lead-free solder, [18] [19] high-K dielectric [20]), software programs, [21] using the algorithms for prognostic purposes, [22] and integrating physics of failure predictions into system-level reliability calculations.

Second-generation techniques are more theoretical in their assessment and quantification of errors, addressing, rather, the schematic’s situational or interactive elements. HRA techniques are utilized for various applications in a range of disciplines and industries including healthcare, engineering, nuclear power, transportation, and business.
Predicted reliability, ′, is estimated as: ′ = ′ + ′ where n is the number of "tests" combined (see below) and ′ is the reliability of the current "test". The formula predicts the reliability of a new test composed by replicating the current test n times (or, equivalently, creating a test with n parallel forms of the current exam).
