Reliability Tools and Integration for Overall Reliability Programs

This course provides a framework to choose the best reliability tools from all of the tools available;  provides application knowledge of these tools at the proper phases of a product life cycle; and ensures proper integration of these tools to assure that the proper information is shared amongst the process phases (downstream and upstream) at the proper times.

In these 2 days, students will review reliability tools, describing what they are, when to use them, and how to integrate them in with the rest of the program to maximize reliability at the lowest possible cost.

Important Questions:
1. Why aren’t we seeing better end-to-end results in our reliability program?
2. Why does it seem that our reliability program doesn’t maintain long-term traction?
3. How do I get the best bang for our buck in our reliability program?


This and and all other courses are available for On Site Training
