Introduction
Reliability is a key ingredient of products life cycle from the earliest planning stage.
Major occurrences at the start of the project involve modeling of system reliability.
During the design and development stage, reliability predictions, qualification and
selection of components, definition of quality assurance standards and prototyping of
critical system areas ensured built-in reliability. Manufacturing and field deployment,
techniques such as pre-manufacturing, qualification, tracking of production quality,
burn-in tests, failure mode analysis and feedback and correction further enhance the
ongoing reliability of the Metropolis
