Course Description

Reliability is often referred to as "quality over time". And this idea of reliability that was birthed in the early days of electronics and aviation, now extends into every sector of consumer and industrial products. Automobiles, airplane, televisions and computers have all found their way into the hands of everyday consumers because of the advancement in reliability engineering.
In "An Introduction to Reliability Engineering", we present an overview of the major concepts in the field of study including:- The single reason of why things fail- Strength / load analysis- Statistical analysis using the Normal and Exponential distributions- Accelerated Life Testing (ALT)- Reliability block diagrams- Assessing the reliability of systems- Reliability improvement- Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT)and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS)- Preventive and predictive maintenance- And MUCHMORE!!!
This class is designed for the quality, manufacturing or engineering professionals looking to expand their skill set into this important field of study. "An Introduction to Reliability Engineering" will give you a foundational understanding of these key ideas and prepare you for more advanced training.
While an advanced understanding of statistics is required to become a reliability engineer, only a basic understanding of manufacturing, mathematics and Microsoft Excel is required to get started in this class.

This class is awesome. I got A LOT from this session and I really enjoyed it. Hope Mr. Ray can introduce the advance reliability engineering or make an independent course for CRE. He is one of the best in field of quality and design. Big thanks Mr. Ray!

excellent explanation and examples to understand concepts

By Shahed Reza on 11/8/2020

Like the pace and how the instructor takes care to explain in details.

By David Hehir on 11/1/2020

Engineers or anyone in working in a business who needs to understand Reliability this is the course for you. I was surprised to find it here a Udemy and it covered the material well.

By Andrey Mayol on 10/25/2020

Yes, know what s reliability

By Adarsh K R on 10/24/2020

Yes.. Expect more in coming videos

Excellence class for any and quality professionals. Ray is a great teacher who can demonstrate the complicated statistical problems very clear and concise. Thank you !

By Michael Onibala on 10/20/2020

The Course Content is good especially for people who just in place as new Reliability Engineer, but its not really fit for re-fresher of Reliability Engineer.
I love the way of explaining material of each topic is very good. The spoken of English is very clear and not really fast which is It is good for people who has English not as mother language.
I would suggest this course will more amazing if you can please add some topics such as FMEA and its design + FMECA, Fault Tree Analysis, Tolerance and worst-case analysis, Reliability Centre Maintenance and its design, Simulation Techniques (Monte Carlo simulation), MTBF, MTTF, MTTR design and their strategies, PDF (Probability Density Function, Maintenance Management design and its Strategy.
If you could that will be great and much appreciated.
I just let you know, I have been enroll four class of yours.
Thanks in advance.

Excellent course, to sum up , Concepts of strength, load, ALT, HALT and HASS explained through appropriate mathematical background using the distributions - normal, exponential and Weibull. This course is an excellent organization of the material and equally superb delivery. lucid and easy style of explanation , looking forward to an advanced course on this topic.

Excellent

By Kevin Cherian on 10/13/2020

An amazing course that has set me in the right direction . I really like the way every single concept was explained .I thought I would get lost somewhere, but you really made it very easy to understand . It was totally engaging and very informative , especially with all the Excel workouts and the Statistical Diagrams. It was more than I expected . Thank You very much Mr. Ray. Looking forward to attending the many more courses that you provide.
