As the President of Bathtub Software, LLC, Carl Tarum plays a pivotal role in advancing the field of reliability engineering through his expertise in Weibull analysis and statistical methodologies. With a strong foundation in Six Sigma principles, Carl specializes in instructing and providing technical support for the SuperSMITH® Weibull Analysis software, a powerful tool that enables organizations to analyze failure data and optimize product reliability. His deep understanding of Weibull mixtures and the development of innovative models and solution techniques have positioned him as a thought leader in the industry.
Carl's collaborative work with renowned experts, such as Dr. Bob Abernethy and Wes Fulton, has resulted in significant advancements in the field. Together, they developed the Critical Correlation Coefficient, a vital metric for assessing the goodness of fit for Weibull data, as well as p-value estimates (pve) that facilitate comparisons between the goodness of fit of various distributions, including Weibull and LogNormal. These contributions not only enhance the analytical capabilities of SuperSMITH® but also empower engineers and quality professionals to make data-driven decisions that improve product development and manufacturing processes.
In addition to his technical prowess, Carl is dedicated to teaching and consulting on Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), technical problem-solving strategies, and the development of Microsoft Excel macros tailored for reliability analysis. His multifaceted skill set, which includes root cause analysis, statistical process control (SPC), and value stream mapping, enables him to provide comprehensive solutions that drive continuous improvement in organizations. Through his leadership at Bathtub Software, LLC, Carl Tarum is committed to fostering a culture of reliability and excellence in engineering practices.
