Assembléon is a manufacturer of component mounting systems. These systems
are designed to ensure a high level of reliability and flexibility. One of
the items that has to be proven during development of new systems is the
reliability.
The past has shown that there is a relation between the reliability and the
way a system is used. This together with the growing flexibility makes it
complex to prove the reliability.
Previous research has resulted in user profiles: parameters that define the
use of the system by customers.
The goal of this research is to find techniques and methods based on the
user profiles to improve and predict the reliability of new systems and to
improve the user profile definition with relevant parameters.
In that way the study has to make the link between developing new systems
and the use under real conditions.
