Talk to our academy advisorAbout the course HI-RF2 Analytical Reliability Methods and System Reliability.
To cope with the latest economic developments, organizations must develop new products and systems with an intrinsic high level of reliability. RMS (Reliability-Maintenance-Safety) Engineering is an upcoming discipline in product development and helps in getting an integral grip on the Reliability of your product during the Design Phase with accurate and quantitative methods.
Based on the Holland Innovative experiences in design for value projects, this course offers to train you in the analytical reliability methodologies and system level approaches to ensure a high initial reliability designed into your systems. These pro-active methodologies will identify project reliability risks early, quantify these risks, and interrelate the various failure mechanisms within the components. Together this will lead to a complete system reliability analysis.
With this course you’ll learn:
- Creating reliability and risk analyses of complex systems
- Take the lead in projects on the aspect of system reliability, closely cooperating with the six sigma methodologies
- Give pro-active and solid engineering and management recommendations
