From the standpoint of system engineering, this chapter will be discussed with the necessities of new reliability-embedded design process to catch up with incredible technology innovations for new product. The modern products should survive to compete other products in global. They are often required to have higher performance and reliability for the necessary intended functions, though the product cost and developing time has to reduce it gradually. Because the new product hardly satisfies the requirements within the limited development time, there is the presence of risks on reliability disasters at all times. New assessment methodology of reliability in the reliability-embedded design process is required to protect the massive recall in lifetime. It will therefore be possible to discover the design defects in the design phase through new reliability methodology that could enable product to satisfy the reliability target of product.
