Traditional Quality and Reliability Engineering often are separated, which cause lacks powerful methods and tools on the earlier development stage and takes high cost and long time. This paper proposes a new integrated quality and reliability methodology based on Life Cycle Six Sigma (LCSS) to assure product good quality, high reliability, low LCC, low price and short lead time simultaneously. A set of integrating methods and processes such as Q&R management, DOE, parameter design and tolerance design for product detailed design and optimization, HALT, HASS, SPC, CPK and Signal to Noise Ratio for product verification and manufacturing, Generalized FRACAS and eight Low-Cost Reliability Growth approaches are developed in this paper. Case studies suggest that these advanced process and technical methods will promote improvement and development of traditional reliability engineering to raise product core competitive power.
