SE-Training - Courses - Systems Reliability
28.05.2024 - 29.05.2024, Zurich
The system reliability course provides in depth knowledge and training on the practical analysis and modelling of system reliability. The participants will firstly be introduced to the relationships between reliability, availability and maintainability. They will learn how to manage availability and maintainability while analysing and determining the system's reliability. The participants will not only learn about the concepts but will deepen their understanding in workshops.
Course Outline:
• Introduction to reliability concepts and reliability models
• Calculation, Analysis and Prognosis of Reliability
• Failure Modes and its use in FMECA
• Assuring System reliability
• Providing Evidence of System’s reliability
Participants know how to analyse, model and predict system reliability.
Participants understand the common reliability terminologies and commonly used reliability models.
Participants learn and practice :
• Functional Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
• FMECA’s for Electro-mechanical systems
• Analysis, prediction and monitoring of system reliability
• Engineers
• Quality Assurance Managers
• RAM Managers
• Reliability engineers and anyone who needs to assure and/or analyse system's reliability.
Early Bird: 1,350 CHF; Regular: 1,500 CHF
