System Reliability and Maintainability Analysis
Course Description
In System Reliability and Maintainability Analysis (Online) you will learn how to build simple to complex reliability models using ReliaSoft BlockSim software. In this course you will explore advanced concepts and applications for system reliability/maintainability analysis and optimization utilizing a reliability block diagram (RBD) or fault tree analysis (FTA) approach.
Prenscia Academy Online courses are delivered in real-time with an instructor available to answer questions and assist via audio or chat. See course calendar for available dates and times.
Software used
You will use ReliaSoft BlockSim software with hands-on practice and case study analysis.
Learning objectives
- Identify critical components (or failure modes) and determine the most effective ways to improve system performance through design improvements and/or maintenance planning
- Use simulation to facilitate decision-making in a variety of areas, such as scheduling maintenance, planning for spares, identifying bottlenecks in production throughput and estimating life cycle costs
Topics included
- How to define a system as a reliability model
- Reliability block diagram (RBD) configurations and fault tree gates and events
