Course Overview
This course introduces the classical reliability
concepts and
relates
the concepts to the physics of failure approach. The information
provided
in this course will be useful for implementing a
physics-of-failure methodology for the life cycle of a product. The
participants will learn how to develop and migrate to
physics-of-failure
based reliability assessment programs. The course will also teach how
to
facilitate the introduction of the physics-of-failure methodology among
the complete supply chain of the product.
