MSIRP™, MINI-SYSTEMS, INC. RELIABILITY PROGRAM

Our reliability program provides customers with real-time data on similar products. These products are tested on a continuous basis and the data will accompany the certificate of conformance. The data is selected from Mini-Systems in-house QPL testing. The data is displayed in a graphical representation and plotted against military standard criteria. Samples are selected in accordance with MIL-PRF-55342.
