Course Content
This industry focused four day course aims to introduce the basic principles and fundamental techniques of risk and reliability analysis for a wide range of industries.
Concepts and theories covered during this industry focused adaptation of our long-running MSc based course are of interest to most engineers, as industry increasingly adopts more risk-oriented approaches for optimisation of decision making. This course will directly develop your skills through practical engagement of the most widely applied methods
Course structure
The total length of course is four days and consists of several theoretical, practical workshops and case study sessions as well as tutorial and software training.
What you will learn
On successful completion of this course you will be able to;
Identify and analyse the concepts and principals of risk and reliability engineering and their potential applications to different engineering problems in various industry sectors
Assess and analyse appropriate approaches to the collection and interpretation of data in the application of risk and reliability engineering methods to industrial systems and structures.
Evaluate and select appropriate techniques and tools for qualitative and quantitative risk analysis and reliability assessment in different industries.

Core content
Introduction and Fundamentals of Risk Analysis and Reliability Engineering.
Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) Analysis, system duty cycle, breakdown/shutdown, MTTF/MTBF/MTTR, survival, failure/hazard rate.
Quantitative Risk Analysis: basic statistics, distributions of failure, probability of failure, consequences of failure.
Workshop 1: Basic statistics and failure probability distributions (e.g. Poisson, Exponential, Weibull and Normal).
Qualitative Risk Analysis (Check-lists, what-if analysis, risk matrix, root cause analysis, 5-why, Fish-bone diagram, Pareto analysis, FTA, ETA).
Workshop 2: FTA/ETA.

Workshop 3: FMEA/FMECA.
Hazard and operability study (HAZOP) analysis.
Workshop 4: HAZOP.
Systems modelling using Reliability Block Diagrams, minimal cut-sets.
Series and parallel systems, k-out-of-n systems, active and passive redundancies, cold and hot stand-by.
Workshop 5: System Reliability (examples from wind turbines, subsea manifolds, pipes, jacket structures, power distribution networks, civil infrastructures).
Structures’ Reliability: First Order and Second Order Moments.
Damage accumulation and modelling of time-dependent reliability.
