Abstract :
The Reliability Analysis Center (RAC) has developed a new methodology and associated engineering software tool, PRISM, to assess the reliability of electronic systems. The methodology includes new component-level reliability prediction models (RACRates) as well as a process for assessing the reliability of systems due to noncomponent variables which are major contributors to electronic system reliability. This new methodology factors in all available test and/or field reliability data as it becomes available on a program to form the best estimate of field reliability
