Advantages of IEEE P1624 for assessing organizational reliability capability

A direct correlation exists between an organization´s capability maturity and an organization´s capability to develop mature and reliable products. A mature organization is capable of repeatedly designing and producing mature products. To develop a mature organization with the capability to develop mature reliable products, a reliability capability assessment and improvement process is needed. An organizational reliability capability assessment is used for: specifying or planning reliability practices throughout an organization evaluating reliability practices to determine the extent to which an organization is capable of providing a product that meets the reliability requirements improving reliability practices throughout an organization if the current reliability practices have been evaluated and determined lacking activities to succeed at higher capability levels.
