- Suitable for mechanical, process, energy engineers seeking applied knowledge in risk and reliability engineering.
Overview
The Risk and Reliability Engineering Training is a five-day course designed for mechanical, process, and energy engineers seeking practical knowledge in risk and reliability engineering. Participants will learn to analyze and apply risk and reliability engineering concepts to various engineering problems, interpret data, select appropriate analysis techniques, and develop risk mitigation solutions. The course covers topics such as RAM analysis, quantitative risk analysis, failure mode analysis, and hazard assessment through theoretical sessions, workshops, and case studies.
Who should attend
Mechanical, Process, Energy Engineers
Course structure
The total length of course is five days and consists of several theoretical, practical workshops and case study sessions as well as tutorial and software training.
