Training Objectives

The key training objectives are summarized below:

  • Understand reliability concepts and unique aspects of reliability data
  • Understand underlying probability and statistical concepts for reliability analysis
  • Develop competency in the modeling and analysis of time-to-failure data
  • Understand reliability metrics and how to estimate and report them
  • Handle Multiple Failure Modes
  • Estimate reliability of subsystems and systems
  • Become aware of system reliability activities such as Reliability Block diagramming, Reliability importance, and Reliability allocation
  • Determine if reliability specifications are met (at specified confidence level) or whether design improvements are required
  • Develop competency in the planning of reliability tests (sample sizes)
  • Develop reliability demonstration test plans (testing time vs. number of units tradeoffs)
  • Analyze existing warranty data to predict future returns

Your On-demand Course with Instructor Support

Immediate access to all course lessons discussing concepts, reviewing procedures and flushing out context and applicability.

Plus, I’m here to support you upon request.

Lessons include text, video lectures, quick quizzes, exercises, and activities. The intent is to encourage you to immediately apply the lessons within your organization such that you can start improving process stability and quality.


How Long Will the Course Take?

This will depend on how many video lectures you view and how many of the sample exam problems you attempt. The course contains 9 modules, with a total of 52 lessons including 10 exercises. There are approximately 16 hours of lectures.

It is recommended that beyond the lectures, you plan on another 10 to 20 hours for reading and working the exercises. Plus, you are encouraged to ‘try this at work/home’ too.

You can always revisit a lesson or check a detail in the supporting student text.


What are the course prerequisites?

An interest in reliability analysis methods Or, more accurately, an interest in understanding how to analyze life data for your prototypes, products, or systems.

Familiarity with basic statistical concepts is not necessary for this course.
