<p>This unit looks at reliability within an industrial setting focusing on physical and infrastructure assets. It is a project based unit covering the application of several reliability tools and techniques such as the Markov process, failure modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis, reliability data analysis, accelerated testing and fault tolerant systems. This unit may also cover the latest or emerging tools and techniques used in industry.</p>
