This course is intended to present the essentials of reliability and a practical approach to its calculation and improvement. Participants will be able to apply basic concepts related to reliability to work on system improvements, calculate maintenance (preventive and predictive), and define warranty periods. We will be looking not only at the definition of reliability, but also other related measurements and systems configurations, as they are found in the real world.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Analyze the definition of reliability
  • Determine the relationship between reliability, probability, and failure rate
  • Define systems configurations and their related reliabilities
  • Determine how to improve the reliability of a system or component(s)
  • Recognize reliability as an engineering function

This course is intended to present the essentials of Reliability. Operators and technicians will be able to apply basic concepts related to reliability to work on system improvement, calculate maintenance (preventive and predictive), and define warranty periods. We will be looking not only at the definition of reliability, but simple probability solutions, as they are found in the real world.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Analyze the definition of reliability.
  • Determine the relationship between reliability, probability, and failure rate.
  • Define systems configurations and their related reliabilities.

Operator basic care (also known as operator essential care, operator driven reliability, asset basic care, or autonomous maintenance) is an equipment reliability program. Although the name and program details can vary, the general concept is to involve operators in the maintenance of their equipment. By engaging all employees, a consistent product output and quality can be maintained throughout the expected lifespan of a machine. The theory is that maintenance should be driven by operators because they spend the most time with the equipment, so they know the most about the current machine condition. Operator basic care provides a foundation for a successful predictive maintenance program. This course covers the basic concepts and best practices of Operator Basic Care programs.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Describe the purpose and benefits of an Operator Basic Care program 
  • List typical basic care tasks or activities 
  • Describe the importance of housekeeping 
  • Describe the importance of lubrication 
  • Describe the role of inspections in Operator Basic Care programs 
  • Identify and describe typical inspection tools 
  • Identify and describe typical operator adjustments and minor repairs 
  • Describe the importance of basic care documentation and reporting
