“What is Reliability”
Tim C. Adams, Senior Member in ASQ Orlando section 1509, and Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE)
Tim works in the Engineering Directorate at the NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC). At NASA, Tim has spent almost three decades in Engineering Assurance with an emphasis on quantitative Reliability Engineering and Technical Risk. And for about 20 years, Tim has been the Technical Editor of the “KSC Reliability” web site (https://extapps.ksc.nasa.gov/Reliability/). Tim joined NASA after the Challenger accident in the Mission Operations Directorate (MOD) at the Johnson Space Center (JSC) as a specialist in Human performance technology (HPT). In that role, Tim analyzed and improved the design and delivery of the technical training provided to flight crews (astronauts) and flight controllers. After MOD, Tim served as JSC’s lead and representative to NASA Headquarters on the Agency initiative to develop program and project managers and supporting business analysts. Prior to moving to KSC, Tim was a Flight Systems Safety Engineer, Reliability Engineer, and Lead of the Analysis and Assessment Methodology Group for the Office of Safety, Reliability, and Quality Assurance.
