There are many well-known and well-documented examples of reliability disasters including the “unsinkable” RMS Titanic (1912), the Bhopal gas tragedy (1984), Chernobyl nuclear reactor explosion (1986), and the Challenger space shuttle failure (1986). Generally such disasters can be viewed as engineering failures. Many reliability disasters, however, could have been avoided by collecting appropriate data or properly analyzing and interpreting data that had been collected. In this talk I will describe five such reliability disasters and explain how proper use of statistical methods could have been used to avert the disaster.
