Theoretical Failure Rate | MTBF Prediction | Derating Analysis

Percept helped this customer in finding their predicted failure rate and understanding “the curve”. Percept provides a Theoretical Failure Rate allowing you to make informed decisions about your design BEFORE you actually have hardware. We will take a look at your collected parts list to determine your failure rate based on their failure rate predictions.

Understanding your expected failure rate gives you the opportunity to set realistic warranty requirements. It also gives you an expectation of costs.

Percept can help you avoid the need to make significant changes late in the development process. A Predicted Failure Rate can also be used as a sales tool. We can give you the information necessary to stay ahead of your competitor’s in offering a better warranty.
