RF2 System Reliability.

To cope with the latest economic developments, organizations must develop new products and systems with an intrinsic high level of reliability. RMS (Reliability-Maintenance-Safety) Engineering is an upcoming discipline in product development and helps in getting an integral grip on the Reliability of your product during the Design Phase with accurate and quantitative methods.

Based on the Holland Innovative experiences in design for value projects, this course offers to train you in the analytical reliability methodologies and system level approaches to ensure a high initial reliability designed into your systems. These pro-active methodologies will identify project reliability risks early, quantify these risks, and interrelate the various failure mechanisms within the components. Together this will lead to a complete system reliability analysis.

Results

You will be trained to become a reliability engineering professional. Capable of creating reliability and risk analyses of complex systems. Focusing on early design concepts, these analyses lead to pro-active and solid engineering and management recommendations throughout the entire product creation process. As an expert you will take the lead in projects on the aspect of system reliability, closely cooperating with the six sigma methodologies.

The course aims at professionals concerned with design, testing, warranty analysis, reliability, project planning, maintenance, or inspection.

Certificate

At the end of the last session, the participants will receive a declaration of participation. Moreover, the training can serve as one of the modules to obtain the Certificate Reliability Engineer according to VDI 4002.

The Reliability Foundation Program is a post-graduate education, focusing on the practical aspects of reliability engineering. The program has been developed in accordance with VDI 4002 Reliability guidelines in collaboration with the University of Stuttgart and consists of several modules that will result in a VDI Reliability Engineer certification.
