Abstract :
This paper presents a concept that enables the modeling of the lifetime of products by using degradation analysis. With this model, the reliability characteristics of products can be predicted and the design of the products can be optimized for robust reliability. A case study illustrates the usefulness of the concept to complex innovative products.
