CHE6033N02: Reliability, Availability and Maintenance

This course explains the basics of the theory underlying Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) and the relationship between them. RAM is used to estimate the availability of a system utility and as a decision making tool to increase the availability of the system, and thus increase the overall profit as well as reducing the life cycle costs, inclusive of the cost of maintenance, lost production, operating, etc.
RAM analysis can be carried out on systems and facilities of different types and sizes in various industries ranging from oil and gas, water and waste water treatment, nuclear, process, manufacturing and many more.
RAM analysis provides confidence that the system will meet its operational targets and support the through-life viability of a project and also suggest tangible improvements.
Apply RAM techniques in the early phases of the project lifecycles, organizations can identify shortfalls against targets and propose practical solutions which yield significant improvements in reliability, availability and maintainability.
