Abstract
The heart of a reliability program for a complex mechanism is early detection of design weaknesses by the performance and analysis of environmental test experiments on prototype or pilot models of major parts of the mechanism. Such a program must be carried out jointly by design engineers, experts in environmental testing, and statisticians thoroughly versed in the practice of experimental design; it must be completed before the onset of scheduled production.
