HALT In the Product Development Process

Reliability Society

Adam Bahret, Apex Ridge Reliability Consulting

This presentation will discuss how HALT fits into the product development process, covering what program step outputs can be feed into HALT and how HALT results can be used to improve adjacent program tools. Connecting HALT with reliability tools like FMEA, FTA, Allocation Modeling, ESS, HASS, and Stress Strength analysis has significantly more program impact than the contribution of each tool individually.
