Reliability Analysis
1 Day

Course Description and Audience:
This course is designed for those individuals who need to make reliability and life
estimates on core product and process components and systems.  It is assumed the
course participants come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences.

Course Objectives:
Upon completion of the course the participants will be able to:

  1. Determine product reliability performance.
  2. Select the appropriate theoretical distribution.
  3. Make life estimates based on failure data.
  4. Use confidence intervals in all estimates.
  5. Add stress and other variables to reliability predictions
