ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a method determining a corrective design for a system component exhibiting time-in-service reliability concerns. The method comprises the steps of establishing a plurality of remote customer databases for collecting service data for a system component, receiving at a centralized database during a predetermined period of time at least one parameter representative of a failure rate for the system component based at least in part on the service data and determining if the at least one parameter represents a system component defect. When the at least one parameter represents a system component defect, the method includes determining at least one failure mode of the system component based at least in part on the at least one received parameter and determining a corrective design for the system component based at least in part on the at least one failure mode.
