Abstract
The author reviews the development history of two common products (cars and refrigerators) and presents discussions of reliability engineering and the evolution of economy. It is suggested that there is a direct and intimate relationship between the societal type and the product development process. A product development model is then discussed. Reliability is considered in the initial stages of design and reliability predictions are made in every iteration. These predictions provide a means of measuring design improvement
