One Day Course in Reliability and Functional Safety Integrity
Couldn't load pickup availability
This is an introductory course and addresses the major elements of the Technis 4 day Reliability and Functional Safety Certificate Course. In the same way as the certificate course it underpins the essential theory that is common to reliability and functional safety. The SIL concept is fully addressed but placed into appropriate context. Only objective quantified assessment is taught and rule based semi-quantitative “methods” are avoided. Reliability centred maintenance is also addressed.
08.30 Objectives and Introduction
- Optimum Reliability/Availability
- “Optimum” safety (ie ALARP)
