One important reason for the quality and productivity success in the Japanese industry is a consequent and systematic use of statistical methods during different stages of the production process. The quality challenge of the European industry therefore implies claims both on the industry to use more statistical methods and on the teaching of statistics at engineering schools at different levels. In this paper we discuss the modern quality development and the role of statistical methods in this development. We also emphasize its strong implications for the teaching of statistics at engineering schools. Le concept ‘qualite’ est de nos jours en relation etroite avec la satisfaction du client. Une des raisons importantes du succes, en fait de qualite el de productivite, de I'industrie japonaise est I'utilisation consequente et systematique des methodes statistiques dans les differentes etapes du processus de production....

In this paper a general measure of the importance of system components is studied. The measure is obtained by ordering the reduction of the expected yield due to the variation of the life-time distribution of the components. Some results useful in comparison of the importance of components are obtained and some bounds are also derived. Some interesting properties of the importance of modules are also studied.

During the last 10 years different generalizations of this concept have been defined and studied, e.g., the TTT-transform and the TTT-plot; a basic paper was presented by Barlow and Campo in 1975. Many of these generalizations have proven to be very useful in different areas of reliability, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view. The purpose of this expository paper is to present some of these generalizations and illustrate their value.
