Fundamentals of Reliability

Learn how to analyze and model reliability data using ReliaSoft Weibull++ and BlockSim with instructor-led training.

Fundamentals of Reliability provides a solid foundation of the methods, analyses, applications and associated tools in reliability engineering mathematics—from basic data analysis and modeling to advanced methods and concepts. This course will introduce and familiarize attendees with basic statistical concepts such as reliability estimation, data set comparison and basic reliability modeling techniques. This course provides an understanding of how reliability engineering analysis methodologies can be applied using ReliaSoft Weibull++ and ReliaSoft BlockSim as well as other tools with practical hands-on exercises and case study examples.

Online courses are delivered in real-time with a live instructor.
