This standard establishes the criteria for assessing the reliability capability of an organization. Organizational rel
6、iability capability is characterized by key processes and associated metrics. This standard can be used for self-assessment by organizations or for supplier/customer relationship development between members of a supply chain. The standard could also be used to assure conformance to existing supplier
7、/customer reliability requirements. This standard does not seek to create or propose creation of certifying bodies to assess reliability capability of a company.

Overview Traditionally, supplier selection is based on cost, logistics, technical capabilit
33、ies, production volume, quality, support locations, and other contractual factors. One of the reasons reliability does not typically enter into the supplier selection process is the lack of an industry-accepted method to measure the capability of an organization to develop and build reliable product
34、s. This standard provides standardized and objective measurement criteria for assessing and quantifying the reliability capability of an organization. Organizational reliability capability is the measure of the effectiveness of an organizations reliability program, practices, or activities in meetin
35、g the customers requirements for product reliability. Organizational reliability capability reflects the ability of an organization to produce products that meet the reliability needs of its customers. Self-assessment of reliability capability facilitates improvement of an organizations reliability
36、practices. Assessment of external organizations provides a means to improve the reliability of products obtained from external suppliers. A supplier selection process that takes into account the ability of the suppliers product to meet reliability requirements can lead to improvements in product rel
37、iability. Conformance with the provisions of this standard is achieved by demonstrating that the criteria in Table 1 have been used in an assessment of organizational reliability capability, and organizational reliability capability levels have been assigned according to Clause 6.1. The word “shall”
38、 is used in this standard to denote a requirement that must be fulfilled to conform to this standard. IEEE Std 1624-2008 IEEE Standard for Organizational Reliability Capability 2 Copyright 2009 IEEE. All rights reserved. 1.1 Scope This document presents a standard that defines the reliability capabi
39、lity of organizations and identifies the criteria for assessing the reliability capability of an organization. This standard is intended to be usable by all organizations that design, manufacture or procure electrical/electronics components or products. Although the concepts described in this standa
40、rd could be applied to both hardware and software products, the focus of the standard is on hardware products. 1.2 Purpose The purpose for assessing the reliability capability of an organization is to facilitate the improvement of product reliability. This document does not define an audit process,
41、but rather an assessment process that is suitable for providing data and results as input into an audit process. Reliability capability is defined by key practices and associated metrics. This standard does not seek to create or propose creation of certifying bodies that assess whether an organizati
42、on meets the definitions of reliability capability. This standard could be used for self-assessment by organizations or for supplier/customer relationship development between members of supply chain. 1.3 Glossary Many of the words used to describe organizational reliability capability have multiple
43、meanings. For example, the word reliability has a specific mathematical meaning, but the word is also used to mean an entire field of engineering study. Clause 3 contains definitions of specialized terms that are used in this document. This includes those whose meanings are not provided in IEEE 100,
44、 The Authoritative Dictionary of IEEE Standards Terms B10, as well as those which have been defined in IEEE 100 but may have more than one definition in that document, or whose usage in this document is based upon a different definition. 1.4 Contents description Clause 4 provides background informat
45、ion on organizational reliability capability assessment. This background information includes basic concepts, definitions, and appropriate uses for reliability capability assessment. Clause 5 defines the eight key reliability practices and their inputs, activities, and outputs. These key reliability
46、 practices are the following: reliability requirements and planning training and development reliability analysis reliability testing supply chain management failure data tracking and analysis verification and validation reliability improvements Clause 6 defines the five reliability capability level
47、s and identifies the set of activities that are necessary to achieve the desired level for each key practice.

In all cases where a single applicable definition existed within IEEE 100, that definition is used for the purposes of this document. 3.1 activity: A set of tasks that relate to the performance of a specific function. 3.2 assessment: A planned and documented activity performed to determine wh
