Welcome to the website of Lambda Consulting, a consulting engineering company specialising in reliability engineering. The company is based in South Africa, but serves defence, aerospace, nuclear and industrial companies worldwide. Lambda Consulting supports the viewpoint that reliability can only be achieved by good management and good engineering, and not by good accounting. Reliability activities based on accounting principles (ie "playing the number's game") will probably not contribute to higher field reliability, and should therefore be avoided where possible. Reliability can be defined as "the absence of failures in products", and reliability engineering as "the management and engineering discipline that prevents the creation of failures in products". The emphasis of reliability engineering should therefore be on proactive "failure prevention" during development and production, and not on reactive "failure correction" during operations.

When an equipment works well, and works whenever called upon to do the job for which it was designed, such equipment is said to be reliable." Igor Bazovsky, 1961 You
