Reliability engineering is a sub-discipline of systems engineering that emphasizes the ability of equipment to function without failure. Reliability describes the ability of a system or component to function under stated conditions for a specified period of time. Reliability is closely related to availability, which is typically described as the ability of a component or system to function at a specified moment or interval of time.
The reliability function is theoretically defined as the probability of success at time t, which is denoted R(t). In practice, it is calculated using different techniques and its value ranges between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates no probability of success while 1 indicates definite success. This probability is estimated from detailed (physics of failure) analysis, previous data sets or through reliability testing and reliability modeling. Availability, testability, maintainability and maintenance are often defined as a part of "reliability engineering" in reliability programs. Reliability often plays the key role in the cost-effectiveness of systems.
Reliability engineering deals with the prediction, prevention and management of high levels of "lifetime" engineering uncertainty and risks of failure. Although stochastic parameters define and affect reliability, reliability is not only achieved by mathematics and statistics. "Nearly all teaching and literature on the subject emphasize these aspects, and ignore the reality that the ranges of uncertainty involved largely invalidate quantitative methods for prediction and measurement." For example, it is easy to represent "probability of failure" as a symbol or value in an equation, but it is almost impossible to predict its true magnitude in practice, which is massively multivariate, so having the equation for reliability does not begin to equal having an accurate predictive measurement of reliability.
Reliability engineering relates closely to Quality Engineering, safety engineering and system safety, in that they use common methods for their analysis and may require input from each other.

Le mode de défaillance est la forme observable du dysfonctionnement d’un produit ou d’une opération du système étudié. Il sert de base de travail dans l'élaboration d'une analyse de type AMDEC Un mode de défaillance doit répondre aux caractéristiques suivantes : Il est relatif à la fonction étudiée. Il décrit la manière dont le système ne remplit plus sa fonction. Il s'exprime en termes techniques précis (court-circuit...) Il existe 5 modes génériques de défaillance : perte de la fonction fonctionnement in
Safety engineering is an engineering discipline which assures that engineered systems provide acceptable levels of safety. It is strongly related to industrial engineering/systems engineering, and the subset system safety engineering. Safety engineering assures that a life-critical system behaves as needed, even when components fail. Analysis techniques can be split into two categories: qualitative and quantitative methods. Both approaches share the goal of finding causal dependencies between a hazard on system level and failures of individual components.
Selon l'American Institute of Industrial Engineers, « Le génie industriel englobe la conception, l'amélioration et l'installation de systèmes intégrés. Il utilise les connaissances provenant des sciences mathématiques, physiques et sociales, ainsi que les principes et méthodes propres au “génie” ou, à l'art de l'ingénieur, dans le but de spécifier, prédire et évaluer les résultats découlant de ces systèmes. » On peut résumer tous les domaines qui touchent au génie industriel par la phrase : « Optimisation des performances globales de l'entreprise.
