What You will Learn
Module 1 - Systems
Module 2 - Measures of Effectiveness
An introduction to what a System is, its components and what is a System Life Cycle.
Module 2 - Measures of Effectiveness
Module 2 - Measures of Effectiveness
System Technical Effectiveness and Operational Effectiveness, what they are comprised of and how they are measured.
Module 3 - System Reliability
What is System Reliability, how is it defined, what formulas are used and why and what data is needed to predict it.
Module 4 - Measuring System Reliability
Using the formulas and calculations from Module 3, how to measure (predict) the reliability of a System as a single entity and in configurations of different component networks.
Module 5 - System Redundancy
Module 6 - System Maintenance
The types of System Redundancy; why components are added to a System and the effect on System Reliability.
Module 6 - System Maintenance
Module 6 - System Maintenance
The need to Design for Maintenance and its effect on System Availability; where Maintenance data is sourced and the types of System Maintenance.
Module 7 - Corrective Maintenance
Corrective Maintenance, what is it; when is it done and how to measure it.
Module 8 - Preventive Maintenance
Like Module 7, Preventive Maintenance, what is it; when is it done and how to measure it.
Module 9 - Logistic Delay Time
Module 10 - Maintenance Effectiveness
Logistic Delays such as Administrative tasks, availability of spare components and personnel need to be accounted for as they too influence System Availability.
Module 10 - Maintenance Effectiveness
Module 10 - Maintenance Effectiveness
Use the Maintenance and Logistic Delay Time formulas to create a set of maintainability factors to measure Maintenance Effectiveness.
Module 11 - System Availability
System Availability, what it is; what it means and how it is measured using the calculations from the previous Modules.
Module 12 - System Spares
What are the types of Spares; how are they provisioned; how to calculate a quantity of spares using the Spares Fill Rate and Risk of Shortage methods.
Module 13 - Failure Modes Effects Analysis
Module 14 - Failure Reporting and Corrective Action System
An introduction to Failure Modes Effects Analysis (FMEA). Systems failures, what are the consequences; how is risk calculated and the purpose of a FMEA worksheet.
Module 14 - Failure Reporting and Corrective Action System
Module 14 - Failure Reporting and Corrective Action System
An Introduction to Failure Reporting and Corrective Action System (FRACAS). How System failures that occur during operations are dealt with by using a “closed loop” management process to monitor a System at component level.
