These are tough economic times and many companies are under significant pressure to cut costs. Yet, even during periods of economic stress, successful organizations recognize that an effective reliability strategy remains an essential element to long-term company viability. In fact, experience indicates that when a company attempts to reduce development costs by cutting reliability and quality tasks, they may end up paying much more in the long run due to factors such as increased warranty costs, loss of future business and exposure to critical safety or regulatory issues. Instead, it is usually more effective to look for ways to reduce the overall costs associated with the entire life cycle. Since strategically focused implementation of reliability best practices has proven to be a powerful tool for controlling and even reducing overall life cycle costs, I wanted to take this opportunity to emphasize some services that ReliaSoft can provide to help your organization navigate through these difficult times while continuing to maintain high standards of quality and reliability. We offer a wide range of training and consulting services that can help you select and implement the reliability tasks that will be most effective for supporting lean engineering and low overall life cycle costs. I encourage you to contact us to discuss the best ways we can help to address your particular needs.
