MTBF Prediction & Calculation & RBD Modeling Simulation for a Defense System Supplier

Confidential-electronics-oem

Client:

Confidential(Electronics OEM)

A leading defense electronics OEM was facing unexpected product failures and costly repairs. Relteck provided a complete reliability engineering solution using Windchill Risk & Reliability software, applying MIL-HDBK-217 and Telcordia SR-332 standards. We predicted system MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), identified design weaknesses early, and delivered clear, actionable insights. The result: a 42% increase in MTBF, 38% fewer failures, and more reliable, cost-effective product designs.

Objective:

Reduce product failure rates and optimize design for long-term performance.

The Challenge:

The client was experiencing unexpected field failures and costly rework during the product life cycle. They needed a predictive model to assess reliability before committing to production.

Relteck’s Solution:

  • Used Windchill Risk & Reliability software
  • Applied MIL-HDBK-217 and Telcordia SR-332 standards
  • Performed full System MTBF, MTTR, Availability and failure rate calculations
  • Delivered a custom PDF/Excel report with actionable design insights

Results:

  • MTBF increased by 42%
  • Identified weak points before prototyping
  • Reduced total failure rate by 38%
  • Enabled data-driven design changes
