Reliability, Availability and Maintainability Courses

Join edVirtus and Dr Chris Jackson for an exciting opportunity for those requiring a better understanding of reliability engineering. Offered as three virtual options, the comprehensive 40-hour Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) Course; the 16-hour RAM Introduction Course; and the 24-hour RAM Practitioners Course, provide participants with an understanding of the key tenets involved in making a ‘reliable system’. This course is for those who are new to reliability engineering AND for those experienced engineers wanting to take their skills to the next level. Attendees who design, manufacture, or otherwise work for a ‘producer organisation’ will learn how to create a ‘reliability mindset’ to prevent problems before they occur. The first part of the course focuses on organisational management and culture which is always the first step on the journey towards reliability maturity. The last part of the course focuses on ‘RAM practice’ that includes an overview of probability, statistics, test planning, key Design for Reliability (DfR) activities and several other related topics. Students are taught to focus on the ‘vital few’ ways their product, system, service, or process can fail. Which means we only need to worry about the ‘vital few’ things we need to do to increase reliability quickly and cheaply. The shorter 16 hour Introduction and 24 hour Practitioners courses provide coverage of the whole subject in two distinct parts. All courses are delivered live in virtual mode for 4 hours each morning AEST. Registration for September courses is open now.
