Course overview – 4 days
RAM for Asset Management provides an overview of the ways in which reliability engineering concepts and methods can be applied for repairable systems analysis and maintenance planning. This course sets the foundation for all subsequent ReliaSoft courses.This course will help you understand how maintenance data analysis methodologies can be applied using ReliaSoft Weibull++, ReliaSoft BlockSim and other platform tools with practical hands-on exercises and case study examples.
Learning objectives
- Understand methodologies that can be applied for repairable systems analysis
- Identify critical components (or failure modes) and determine the most effective ways to improve system availability
- Evaluate potential maintenance strategies and calculate optimum PM intervals and/or overhaul times
- Use simulation to obtain estimated performance metrics that can facilitate decision-making in a variety of areas, such as scheduling planned maintenance, planning for spares, identifying bottlenecks in production throughput and estimating life cycle costs
Topics included
- Reliability statistical concepts
