The changes in the quality assurance organization introduced in recent years in a Swiss firm have led to a substantial improvement in the production quality of electronic circuit boards and to an increase in the reliability of electronic systems. This article demonstrates that the operational reliability of such systems is determined to a great extent by weak points in the electronic components. It follows that an analysis of the causes and the avoidance of such weak points are paramount in controlling the reliability of electronic systems.
