Implementing dependability studies

• Refining expertise in dependability techniques and tools, and being able to determine when and how to apply them.
• Planning dependability activities.
• Increasing the added value of studies.
• Understanding modern approaches such as modelling and simulation.
• Be capable of independently setting up and conducting dependability studies.

DAY 1

CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS
• Review of dependability definitions within the V-model,
• Concept of a dependability plan.

RELIABILITY
• Concepts of theoretical, practical and testbased reliability,
• Understanding the different types of theoretical reliability data and their application (electronic, mechanical, etc.),
• Concept of compliance with a definition and monitoring of key characteristics (KC, controllability, etc.),
• Understanding qualification concepts, endurance testing, reliability testing, etc.

Practical workshops

DAY 2

TESTABILITY
• Mastering coverage and isolation concepts,
• Carrying out testability FMEA and troubleshooting,
• Understanding the contribution of modelbased approaches.

MAINTAINABILITY
• Mastering the various indicators (MTTR, MaxTTR, LRU-SRU-PRU-DU, NTI, etc.),
• Understanding the different maintenance strategies,
• Applying RCM.

AVAILABILITY
• Understanding intrinsic and operational availability,
• Mastering MLDT and PNRS calculations,
• Introduction to models.

Practical workshops

DAY 3

SAFETY
• Activities from bid phase through to the end of specification (Functional Analysis, Preliminary Risk Analysis, Allocations, Requirements, etc.),
• Managing equipment subcontracting during the preliminary phase,
• Carrying out the expected tasks at equipment and system levels (FMEA, Fault Tree Analysis, Common Mode Analysis, practical safety, etc.),
• Design validation,
• Safety during the upward phase of the V-model and practical safety applications,
• Operational safety and the implementation of operational feedback processes.
