- All industries - Telecom, Medical, Avionics, Semiconductor, Consumer Electronics, Military, Test Equipment, RF, Automotive, Space, Oil Exploration, Green Energy (Solar, Wind, Hydrogen Fuels), & more.
- Ops A La Carte is a Professional Consulting Firm focused on Reliability Engineering Services, Reliability Testing, Reliability Management, and Reliability Education to assist you in developing and executing any and all elements of Reliability throughout your Organization and your Products Life Cycle.
We have created four separate programs to meet our customers' ever changing needs: Ops "Solutions", Ops "Team Expert", Ops "A La Carte" and Ops "Training".
We have reliability expertise at the system level on both hardware and software, component level reliability at the packaging level and at the semiconductor level, mechanical reliability on the mechanical structure, and optical reliability.
We offer integrated reliability solutions throughout your Product Lifecycle.
In the Concept Phase, we set goals, benchmark against your competitors, and help you write a solid reliability plan.
In the Design Phase, we analyze your design using different reliability analysis tools such as MTBF predictions, FMEA, FTA, FEA, DOE, Thermal Analysis, Derating Analysis, Tolerance/Worst Case Analysis, and Sneak Analysis.
In the Prototype/Testing Phase, we write customized test plans which include test activities such as Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT), Design Verification Testing (DVT), Reliability Demonstration Testing (RDT), Accelerated Life Testing (ALT), and Compliance/Safety Testing. We also have expertise at Root Cause Analysis.
And in the Manufacturing Phase, we use techniques such as Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS), On-Going Reliability Testing (ORT), Vendor Reliability, Warranty Analysis, End-of-Life Analysis, and Field Failure Tracking.
