An Introduction to Use Case 7

Reliability Society

Adam Bahret, Apex Ridge Reliability Consulting Services

This presentation will discuss the concept of using the “Use Case 7” principal to improve product robustness. This principal looks to define a use case, or set of use cases, that would normally be considered too extreme to be viable design input. The result is often discovering modifications for base use cases or identifying all the little percentages of outlier use that add up to a noticeable failure rate in a large population.

Check out online article “Introduction of Use Case 7” that gives a full introduction to the method (apexridge.com/introduction-of-usecase7)
