The future of reliability is bright as each electronics company is spending 1–5% of their annual sales on cost of non-quality. These costs are related to product failures prior to the end of its warranty period. If even a portion of these costs are reduced, it would result in a substantial profit increase. Progress in the area of reliability can be...
