Reliability for Revolution: positioning the reliability team for product innovation

Short Abstract

The traditional reliability team has been considered a service organization that highlights, quantifies and reduces product risk. In a sense that organization tends to prefer evolutionary designs and small iterative steps. However, when it comes to major technological breakthroughs, such as the EV revolution and the reinvention of the automobile as a technology platform, a new kind of reliability organization is required: one that shifts from services into solutions and is a key contributor in supporting product innovation.
