Save time and money as you improve reliability
Learn how to deliberately build a reliability program that streamlines activities to those essential and valuable few that improve reliability at the minimum expense.
Master your reliability programBy far one of the most useful engineering management courses. I am constantly referencing the material and skills I learned in this class. If you are concerned with reliability and looking for methods to make programmatic changes - take this course. Fred is a fantastic instructor with a tremendous reach back capability to use for practical examples!

You will receive a weekly email that summarizes that weeks topic plus a link to the Accendo Reliability site lesson page. Each lesson may include presentations, lectures, reading material, downloads, and worksheets.
Each lesson will also include action items to encourage you to take action to improve your reliability program. Report your progress and discuss solutions to obstacles in the course forum.
Fred Schenkelberg is an international authority on reliability engineering. He is the reliability expert at FMS Reliability, a reliability engineering and management consulting firm he founded in 2004. Fred left Hewlett Packard (HP)’s Reliability Team where he helped create a culture of reliability across the corporation to assist other organizations. His passion is working with teams to improve product reliability, customer satisfaction, and efficiencies in product development; and to reduce product risk and warranty costs. Fred has a Bachelor of Science in Physics from the United States Military Academy and a Master of Science in Statistics from Stanford University.
Fred is a graduate course lecturer with the University of Maryland, the initial Executive Producer of the ASQ Reliability Division Webinar program, past chair of the ASQ Reliability Division, and a regular speaker at the Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS®) and other reliability conferences. He blogs at CREPrep.wordpress.com , NoMTBF.com, and Musings. He has a Bachelor of Science in Physics from the United States Military Academy and a Master of Science in Statistics from Stanford University.
It has been a great pleasure working with Fred. He has been a great asset to our team, with his technical expertise and people management skills. I have learnt a lot from him about reliability program management and change management and highly recommend him for reliability engineering projects.
