Abstract Based on analysis of field reliability information a reliability model proper for engineering is developed and demonstrated. The development of the model is performed by applying the well known but often forgotten scientific method in which theoretical models are continuously compared with observations and subsequently modified/further developed until a reasonable consistency has been achieved. The tools used are by no means advanced. The model presented has been applied successfully in many industrial case studies, one of which will be described in the paper.
