Course Title
Introduction to Reliability, Maintainability & Availability by Christopher Olson

Description
Join Christopher Olson in this detailed exploration of reliability, maintainability, and availability, designed specifically for project managers and systems engineers. This course dives deep into the concept of what constitutes a failure and emphasizes the critical importance of documentation. You’ll discover how system complexity directly impacts reliability and gain insights into various failure data distributions that affect system performance. Understand the crucial distinctions between Failure Rate λ(t) and Hazard Rate h(t), and learn about the infamous bathtub curve, including its limitations. Throughout the modules, you will investigate reliability networks and their applications, discover how Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) interacts with system design, and understand the relationship between maintainability and maintenance. The course covers operational concepts relevant to RM&A, fostering insights on different maintenance types and levels alongside key metrics used for measuring maintainability. You’ll gain knowledge about Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) and how it interplays with Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM), equipping you to find the optimal balance between reliability, maintainability, and lifecycle costs. Finally, we’ll discuss the types of availability you need to know—Operational, Inherent, and Achieved—and how to accurately calculate them. Conclusively, this course brings together RM&A topics, guiding you through essential mathematical computations to initiate and improve your systems’ performances and ensure sustainable operational success.
