Practical Application of Reliability Engineering
In Practical Application of Reliability Engineering, you'll learn ...
- The principles and concepts associated with reliability engineering
- The different ways reliability can be addressed throughout the life of equipment
- How to apply reliability concepts to manage the reliability of equipment
- How to forecast the reliability and service life of equipment
Overview
This course provides an engineering-based foundation on applying reliability principles throughout the life cycle of equipment (i.e., facility, plant, mechanical system, etc.). It covers common reliability concepts in a simple and practical way, as well as how to incorporate reliability engineering concepts. Upon completion of this course, students will understand how to plan reliability engineering activities for their equipment and perform straightforward and common reliability calculations, such as mean time to failure and probability of failure at a certain operating time. The course will present quantitative and non-quantitative methods on reliability prediction, reliability design, and analysis with practical examples such as electric motor failure forecasting.
Best practices and methods of reliability engineering are covered including, but not limited to, risk assessment, value engineering, cost versus benefit, physics of failure (PoF), fault tree diagrams, and root cause analysis (RCA). This course is for engineers, professional engineers, energy professionals, engineering managers, technical professionals, facilities managers and other professionals who are not intimately familiar or current on reliability engineering principles and practices and are interested in applying these principles within the life of equipment to achieve meaningful economic benefits.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Estimate reliability by performing straightforward reliability calculations.
- Explain the application of reliability concepts throughout the equipment life cycle.
- Apply techniques for designing for reliability (DfR), identifying reliability requirements or specifications, improving system reliability, and estimating reliability.
- Analyze mechanical, electrical, and structural examples to apply reliability concepts to equipment management.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 40 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
