We also offer a one and two day Reliability Engineering course that covers various topics.

One Day Course

• Want to understand what the reliability engineers are telling you?
  Always wondered why Reliability was important?
  Want to have a quick introduction to the Basics of Reliability?
  See reliability openings in the job postings and wonder what Reliability is all about?

We will provide the answers to these questions and more during this 1 day overview of reliability. We start from the beginning with definitions and statistical preliminaries (no statistical mumbo-jumbo, just useful engineering). We work our way through discrete and Continuous reliability distributions and show how they form the basis of Reliability analysis.
We move on to Reliability Engineering and Reliability Program Planning …starting with/defining a Reliability Goal for a system, then allocating that reliability goal to the sub-systems & parts. From there we talk about and how to set up tests to demonstrate reliability during the development process efficiently & economically. Since developing a product or process must always use “lessons learned” from previous products or processes we use tools in-class like Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), along with flow charts and other Process improvement tools to show they are integrated in the DMAIC or Process Improvement process to achieve high reliability.

We show the attendees how to solve reliability problems via Weibull Analysis, FMEA, Fault Tree Analysis and simple reliability calculations in order to help their company achieve not only a reliable product but a safe one as well.

Two Day Course

• Just get put into a reliability group?
• See reliability openings in the job postings and wonder what Reliability is all about?
• Been in a reliability group a few years but stuck doing 1 thing all the time?
• Simply want to understand what the reliability engineers are telling you?
• Always wondered why Reliability was important?

We show the attendees how to model reliability via Weibull Analysis, Reliability Growth Modeling, Fault Tree Analysis and Monte Carlo Analysis to not only achieve a reliable product but a safe one as well. Reliability Testing based on a constant rate as well as the Weibull distribution is covered along with accelerated life testing.

In short, after these two days you will have a good grasp of Reliability fundamentals, and how to use these tools to help your company achieve a more reliable product or process.
