Dear Mr.Marc,
Thanks for your feedback. I have gone through the same and found little bit to difficult to capture the exact definitions.
Can you give some definitions for Reliability, Durability and Maintainability.
Actually we are manufacturing Automotive Electric horns and supplying to various OEM's. Our Customers need an Endurance Test of the Horns for 200,000 cycles of 1 Sec ON / 3 Sec OFF in the standard test conditions. (i.e. There should not be any detoriation in the performance or failure in the horn within 200,000 cycles). We have kept the same requirement as our Design goaland Reliability goal. Is this correct?
Our TS Auditor said that there is a difference for both the above and asked to define clearly about Reliability. In addition to the above he suggested to incorporate Durability of the product also in our goals.
How to differentiate the above goals?
Can you Please help with some examples.
Thanks

Has your customer given you a specific standard or specification to comply with? If not, where did you get the "... 200,000 cycles of 1 Sec ON / 3 Sec OFF in the standard test conditions. (i.e. There should not be any deterioration in the performance or failure in the horn within 200,000 cycles)..." requirement?
Dear Mr.Marc,
The Customer is M&M in India.
They have not given any written test plan. But they are having their own standard created by themselves specifically for Horns.
Our horns should fulfil their requirement in Endurance test (i.e. Horns should function satisfactorily up to 200,000 cycles of 1 Sec ON / 3 Sec OFF in the Test bench conditions.)
Regards
S. Kavitha
