Topic: Basics of Monte Carlo Simulation in Quality and Reliability Applications
This presentation will cover the use of Monte Carlo simulation in engineering applications. The application are numerous including tolerance stack-up, process variation, stochastic process, reliability, safety risk analysis and many more. Monte Carlo simulation can provide decision makers an improved analysis tool compared to single point estimate methods by providing a quantitative view all outcomes including the extremes with probabilities of occurrence. This presentation will cover the basics of Monte Carlo simulation and focus on design and process variation as frequent causes of quality and reliability problems. It will also demonstrate how to use an Excel spreadsheet to run a simple Monte Carlo simulation.
