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 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". 
The emphasis of reliability engineering should therefore be on
"failure prevention" during development and production, and not on "failure correction" during operations.
