This course is intended to present the essentials of Reliability. Operators and technicians will be able to apply basic concepts related to reliability to work on system improvement, calculate maintenance (preventive and predictive), and define warranty periods. We will be looking not only at the definition of reliability, but simple probability solutions, as they are found in the real world.
Determine the relationship between reliability,
probability, and failure rate.
Define systems configurations and their related
reliabilities.
Determine how to improve the reliability of a
system or component(s).
