Abstract: Abstract Technical failures have become routine in every-day work life. Shorter development times, an increasing diversity in applications and a much higher complexity are leading to high failure rates for cars and many other mass products. Reliability has to be designed into the product. To prioritize scarce resources, engineers apply Mean Time Between Failure as the most common quantitative tool.
