Description
This seminar will address Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS) engineering concepts to guarantee availability and safety of critical equipments, in particular in a high technology and R&D environment. Applications of these concepts will be presented.
14h00-14h30 Introduction to Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety activities: general introduction to RAMS, basic definitions, integration of RAMS in a large project.
14h40-16h10 RAMS methodologies:
- Functional Analysis methodologies
- Preliminary Hazard Analysis
- Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
- Fault Tree Analysis
- Use of standards for Reliability predictions
- Reliability Block Diagrams for a system
- Advanced models, e.g. Markov's Graphs
16h30-17h00 Presentation of the activities domains covered by LIGERON S.A. and by the Institut LIGERON S.A.
