Reliability engineering involves all aspects of design, development, and fabrication that minimize the chance of equipment breakdown. Neglect of reliability considerations can prove to be very costly, from the loss of consumer acceptance of the product to the possibility of endangering human life. The success of complex missions such as space probes depends heavily on reliability engineering, since the failure of a single component, such as an O-ring on a space shuttle, can result and has resulted in total loss of the system.
