Design for Reliability Fundamentals

Please complete the form opposite to discuss preferred dates and bespoke options.

Design for Reliability is a process that encompasses tools and procedures to ensure that a product meets its reliability requirements, under its use environment, for the duration of its lifetime. Design for Reliability is implemented in the design stage of a product to proactively improve product reliability, by seeking to minimise weaknesses in design.

This course covers the fundamentals of the Design for Reliability process, with the following aims:

  • Introduce Reliability Engineering principles (objectives, terminology, definitions).
  • Describe the elements of a Design for Reliability process and how they work together.
  • Provide awareness of typical Reliability Engineering tools that help identify, monitor and manage risks.
  • Demonstrate how reliability can be quantified.
