Abstract :
This paper describes some of the advantages, shortcomings, and recommended changes to MIL-STD-781B, which is a military specification for reliability test plans. Particular emphasis is given to laboratory discrepancies that are excluded from consideration as relevant failures. The principal reason that MIL-STD-781B test results do not reasonably foretell the minimum MTBF that can be expected in the field is that the field definition of failure is not compatible with the laboratory definition.
