Reliability Growth Analysis Workflow

This workflow provides the basic, high-level steps for developing Reliability Growth Analysis. The steps and links in this workflow do not necessarily reference every possible procedure. For more procedures, see the links in the Related Information section.

Collect data for the elements that you want to analyze.
Create a new Reliability Growth Analysis from an existing query, dataset, or manually entered data. For an analysis from an existing query or dataset, you can create analysis using Failure Dates or Cumulative Operating Time.
Evaluate the results in the following ways using the features of the Reliability Growth Analysis tool.
- Determine whether the data follows a trend using the Goodness of Fit test.
- Predict how the data will look in the future by using the extrapolation tool.
- Determine at what point in time trends in the data changed in the data by using the segment tool.
