Reliability Based Testing, Principles and Methodologies

The course helps participants: 

  • Understand the array of methodologies that can be applied for repairable systems analysis and determine the approaches that are most effective and appropriate to the statistical analysis
  • Identify critical components and associated failure modes to determine the most effective ways to improve system performance through design improvements 
  • Understand accelerated life testing techniques which are critical in helping organizations to achieve time-to-market goals
