Course Objective

The aim of this course is to introduce the methods of reliability analysis which is a crucial step in product development and an important dimension of product quality. With this knowledge the life cycle of a product can be modelled.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To plan the reliability analysis studies in product development management.
2   To estimate product/system reliability
3   To plan reliability tests
4   To perform risk analysis necessary for reliablity studies
5   To manage reliability studies
