Reliability

Engineered Dependability

Data-Driven Solutions

We provide both technical guidance and practical strategies to help organizations meet reliability targets. Led by Dr. Capser, who also teaches Reliability Engineering at the university level, clients benefit from a rare combination of academic depth and real-world application.

At Praxis, we help organizations design and deliver reliable products by embedding structured reliability processes into their development programs.

Integration of Reliability Practices

Integration of reliability practices into new product development (NPD) efforts

By embedding reliability considerations directly into new product development, Praxis enables teams to identify potential issues early, reduce redesign costs, and enhance product dependability.

Leadership

Leadership in the application of reliability tools and methodologies (e.g., FMEA, DFR)

Dr. Capser provides guidance to ensure advanced reliability tools are applied effectively, resulting in analyses and recommendations that are both technically accurate and actionable for design and production teams.

Design & Analysis

Design and analysis of validation plans for components, assemblies, and systems

Praxis develops and evaluates validation plans to verify that components and systems meet reliability objectives, addressing potential failure modes and performance metrics before products reach production.

Accelerated Life Testing (ALT)

Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) to simulate long-term usage in short periods

ALT is used to predict product lifespan and identify weaknesses quickly. Praxis designs and interprets these tests to provide insights that improve product durability and reliability.

Reliability Growth (RG)

Reliability Growth (RG) test planning for systems that require iterative improvements

Reliability Growth plans monitor improvements across development cycles, ensuring that each iteration reduces failures and steadily increases the system’s reliability toward target goals.

Warranty Analysis & Forecasting

Warranty analysis and forecasting to support financial planning and warranty accruals

Praxis analyzes historical warranty data and uses statistical forecasting to anticipate future claims, helping clients plan financially while informing design improvements to minimize unexpected failures.

Customer Usage Profiling

Customer usage profiling to better align product testing and expectations with real-world conditions

By analyzing actual customer usage patterns, Praxis tailors testing and reliability assessments to reflect real-world conditions, ensuring products perform as expected when deployed.
