Abstract
A method of developing a confidence level in reliability or producibility prediction scores that includes generating data for a set of factors, inserting the data into scorecards and dashboards, and calculating an overall Z score and Z confidence range. The scorecards and dashboards are used to calculate the confidence level in reliability scores. Each reliability or producibility factor may be weighted as to its importance to the overall confidence level. Factors included in the method include accuracy of the critical to quality flowdown; completeness of the critical to quality flowdown; percentage of the design analyzed; comprehensiveness of the design analysis; risk assessment analysis; percentage of component. subassembly or product reuse from other projects; percentage of the design complete; verification of the process capability; plant integration; order to remittance process integration; extent of pilot run; and effectiveness of a test plan.
