Reliability Engineering

Reliability Engineering is a series of tools and techniques that, when applied within a product planning framework, provide a structured approach to meeting reliability targets in accordance with established customer expectations. The primary function of this approach is to improve current reliability performance and to ensure satisfactory reliability performance of new products or processes, as perceived by the customer.

Course Description

This course follows a five-phase model that is linked to a generic quality planning model (AQP). With a mixture of instructor led sessions and practical exercises, the course shows how reliability targets can be established in terms of customer expectations and how available data can be used to prioritise the problem solving and improvement efforts.

The Learning Gain

At the end of the course, delegates will be able to:-

Identify tools that may be used for analysing historical reliability data.

Understand what customer information is required to aid better design reliability.

Identify how the reliability engineering activities interact with a structured quality planning and management system.

Use the appropriate tools for analysing and prediction product liability such as

	Hazard plotting (bath tub curve)
	Reliability block diagrams
	Success trees
	Stress strength analysis
	Robustness Engineering

Maximise the use of available test data to diagnose and predict future reliability performance

Use the output from other tools and methodologies as sources of information in the problem solving and quality improvement efforts.

Pre-Requisites

Whilst not mandatory, it is recommended that a clear understanding of quality management systems and a knowledge of robustness engineering would be an advantage to aid the understanding of this concept.

This course can also be run as an Application Workshop. Click here for details
