<p>Students will develop models and apply advanced skills to problems related to reliability. The unit uses a systems approach to determine potential failure modes. Topics will extend student knowledge in areas of risk and failures in plants and infrastructure whilst also considering cost effectiveness of proposed solutions. Concepts of Integrated Logistics Support are also covered. Additional topics will cover prediction and design of reliability into safety critical systems, techniques for reliability improvements, modelling of human factors, optimisation techniques and synthesis of fault trees and critical analysis.</p>
