JEDEC JEP148B

A concept is outlined, which proactively integrates qualification into the development process and provides a systematic procedure as support tool to development and gives early focus on required activities. It converts requirements for a product into measures of development and qualification in combination with a risk and opportunity assessment step and accompanies the development process as guiding and recording tool for advanced quality planning and confirmation. The collected data enlarge the knowledge database for DFR / BIR (design for reliability / building-in reliability) to be used for future projects. The procedure challenges and promotes teamwork of all involved disciplines.
