Risk Reliability Training
Engineers increasingly need to adopt risk-oriented approaches for plant design and/or the definition of maintenance programs.
Risk, Reliability Engineering and Maintenance introduces the basic principles and fundamental techniques used in risk-informed, asset management decision making, and helps you develop directly applicable skills through practical engagement of the most widely applied methods
Course structure
The total length of the course is 3 days, combining a variety of teaching approaches which include theoretical lectures, practical sessions, as well as individual study; practical sessions are carried out for one third of the course time. Solving the case study will enable practice of the most relevant methods and techniques as well as their interaction in a realistic problem. This short course is a joint effort of Cranfield University and the leading Danish Engineering and Consultancy Company Ramboll; ensuring delivery of the most up-to-date theory in line with practical real-life case studies and examples.
What you will learn
Demonstrate a systematic knowledge of the fundamentals of asset management, risk management and reliability engineering, as well as a critical awareness of their application on relevant engineering problems;
Develop a clear picture of the influence of component and systems reliability on asset performance during the full asset lifecycle (with an emphasis on the planning and operating phase);
Use basic terminologies in the field of maintenance adequately and to link them with more elaborated methodologies in the field of risk and reliability centred maintenance in order to be able to practically use them;
Evaluate and select appropriate techniques for risk analysis, failure pattern analysis, failure consequence assessment and methods for control/mitigation through decision support systems such as applicable software and tools;
Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the successful application of Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD), Fault / Event Tree Analysis (FTA / ETA), Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP), Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM).
