Reliability Engineering Fundamentals
The core methods of reliability engineering for maintenance, reliability and asset engineers in oil and gas, petrochemical and heavy industry. Learn to calculate MTBF, MTTR and availability, read failure patterns and Weibull results, work out series and parallel system reliability, code failures to ISO 14224, find bad actors, and choose maintenance tasks with reliability-centred maintenance and the P-F curve. The course ends with reliability KPIs, life-cycle cost and how to build an improvement programme.
