Abstract :
Over the past 10 years, there have been some dramatic changes in the electronics industry. These changes have been spurred by technology, global competitiveness and market demands. The result has been a new interpretation of the discipline of reliability and the role of the reliability engineer in the development of electronic products and systems. This paper overviews the changes that have occurred and how reliability engineering must change to keep pace with the changes and add value to the product development process
