In order to maximize effectiveness, reliability should be an integral part of all aspects of a system’s life cycle, including requirements definition, concept development, product design, design verification, qualification, reliability growth management and testing, reliability demonstration testing, and field monitoring and support.  As any practitioner in the field of reliability can attest, there exists a multitude of mathematical calculations and statistical techniques that can be used to assist the engineer in determining how system requirements should be allocated and how the system design should be modeled, assessed and re-designed in order to maximize the likelihood of satisfying the customer’s expectations or formal requirements.  The purpose of this course is to provide illustrative examples of the more common mathematical calculations and statistical techniques utilized by reliability engineers in the practical performance of their daily activities.

The mathematical and statistical examples illustrated in this course revolve around a single hypothetical case study.  In addition to providing a common thread throughout this presentation, it is hoped that by basing all calculations on a single case study, the student will come to understand that individual calculations do not exist in a vacuum.  Rather, it will reinforce the notion that each phase of a project is linked to (and affects) other phases, and that conclusions drawn from a calculation are often used to influence design decisions, which may then require that previous analyses and calculations be revisited and updated.

These concepts covered in this course will be presented through lecture, class discussion and extensive in-class exercises based upon the case study example.  This is a hands-on course that also serves as an excellent follow-on to our Reliability 101 and Design for Reliability offerings.

Quanterion’s Reliability, Availability Maintainability (RAM) Modeling training is separated into two different courses. Reliability 301: RAM Modeling I is a three-day course that addresses the mathematics of the fundamental modeling approaches, while Part 2 is a two-day course that takes a more in-depth look at the application of specific modeling techniques and how they can be used to estimate and improve a system’s availability.

The first three-day course covers the basics of RAM Modeling tools and techniques used in the analysis of complex systems. The course is ideal for persons with responsibilities in the reliability and maintainability area, as well as managers who are interested in modeling system interdependencies for the purpose of life-cycle management.

Reliability 301 is available for on-site training. Contact us at Reliability@Quanterion.com to learn more.

Designing reliability into a system early in its life-cycle is the most effective means to ensure reliable performance and mission success. It is a well-known metric that the costs to fix a reliability issue for a fielded system is at least ten times more than it is to design the reliability in up-front. This course will provide details on the process for designing reliability into a system, the value provided by accomplishing this goal, and hands-on examples to solidify learning.

Design for Reliability is available for on-site training. Contact us at Reliability@Quanterion.com to learn more.

The Intro to Lean Six Sigma Enterprise course is to provide participants with an introduction to the foundational concepts of the Lean-Six Sigma philosophy and process. It will help participants successfully understand the organization of a Lean-Six Sigma program. Simulations on variations in such processes will be practiced.

This 1-day course provides a general introduction to Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM), explaining the basic terminology, analyses, and overall purpose and goal of performing RCM. In addition to providing a brief history on the various maintenance approaches employed by different industries, the course identifies practical RCM applications, outlining the steps involved with planning, implementing and sustaining an effective RCM program.

Introduction to Reliability Centered Maintenance is available for on-site training. Contact us at Reliability@Quanterion.com to learn more.

Reliability Centered Maintenance covers a brief introduction to the concepts and terminology used in RCM, then expands into the detailed processes associated with RCM planning and analysis, RCM implementation/task packaging and RCM sustainment activities. The highlights of the course include an in-class Course Project and numerous exercises that reinforce the knowledge gained throughout the course.

RCM is offered Sept. 15-17, 2026 in Southwest USA!

This three-day course provides a complete overview of the reliability growth process associated with robust design and test techniques. Reliability Growth Through Robust Design and Test defines the basic concepts of reliability growth and illustrates how these concepts can be most effectively applied using a variety of design and test methods.

Topics covered include reliability growth management, reliability growth through design (FMEA/FMECA, FTA, Reliability Physics/Physics of Failure, Accelerated Life Testing, and Orthogonal Defect Classification for Software) and reliability growth through test (FRACAS; reliability planning, tracking and projection models). The course also provides unique and innovative approaches that measure, quantify and improve the effectiveness of Design for Reliability (DFR) activities.

Reliability Growth Through Robust Design and Test is available for on-site training. Contact us at Reliability@Quanterion.com to learn more.

This 1-day course covers reliability test and evaluation approaches. The course is ideal for persons with newly assigned responsibilities in the reliability and maintainability area, as well as managers who want to increase their awareness of the proper application of various reliability test approaches.
