Introduction to Reliability Principles

Learn the fundamental principles of reliability by through applications-oriented problem solving activities. There will be introductory statistical calculations as they apply to the demonstrated software. The workshop will provide techniques for the use of reliability techniques to improve business performance. There will be an introduction to a number of reliability tools for finding cost issues and identifying methods for improving them.

Length:  3 days     Prerequisites:  None

Learning Objectives

  • Identify Reliability tools necessary for the solution of internal business problems
  • Identify and apply the methods necessary for performing reliability audits
  • Develop Reliability testing strategies
  • Demonstrate an understanding and apply Bathtub Curves for modes of failure
  • Determine how to identify and apply effectiveness, availability, reliability, maintainability, and capability techniques
  • Identify Monte Carlo Models
  • Utilize Weibull Principles, Normal and Log-Normal probability plots

Plexus Learning Model

Learning is maximized through participation. That is why Plexus training avoids lecture-based teaching and focuses on group activities, case studies and hands-on applications. Learn by doing.

Who Should Attend

  • Design, Engineering, and Quality Staff responsible for reliability principles
