Fault Tree Analysis Training by TONEX, FTA Training

Fault Tree Analysis is s a systematic method of system analysis and part of  operations research in system reliability and safety. Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) examines a system from top-dwon and provides graphical symbols for ease of understanding. It incorporates mathematical tools to focus on critical areas.

Fault tree analysis can also be also as an analytical technique for tracing the events which could contribute. It can be used in accident investigation and in a detailed hazard assessment. The fault tree is a logic diagram based on the principle of multi-causality, which traces all branches of events which could contribute to an accident or failure.

Learn the concepts of Fault tree analysis as it is used a symbolic “analytical logic techniques” and its application in reliability and safety analysis. Learn  how basic events, often made up of failures at the component level, could lead to a hypothesized failure of a system

SDN OpenFlow Training, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Training by TONEX

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging architecture that is dynamic, manageable, cost-effective, and adaptable used in high-bandwidth, dynamic nature of today’s applications. SDN architecture decouples the network control and forwarding functions enabling the network control to become directly programmable and the underlying infrastructure to be abstracted for applications and network services. The OpenFlow™ protocol is a foundational element for building SDN solutions. OpenFlow is a communications protocol giving access to the forwarding plane of a network switch or router over the network.

SDN OpenFLow training also covers Network Functions Virtualization (NVF). NVF will eventually transform the way the network operators architect their networks. NFV will be evolved as a standard IT virtualization technology to consolidate many network equipment into high performance, high volume servers, switches and storage, which could be located in Data Centers, Network Nodes and in the end user premises.

SDN OpenFlow training course covers Software-defined networking (SDN) as an approach to networking where the control is decoupled from hardware and given to a software application called a controller supporting a switching fabric across multi-vendor hardware and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).

OpenFlow  as the most popular specification for creating a software-defined network is an open standard allows network administrators remotely control routing tables and added as a feature to commercial Ethernet switches, routers and wireless access points

Requirements Writing Training, and Specifications Writing Training course addresses the techniques used to write, validate and verify requirements and convert them to technical design specifications. It gives attendees the basic tools necessary to write effective system design specifications.

Requirements are the foundation for building systems and software. They determine WHAT the system must do and drive the system development. Requirements are used to determine [verify] if the project team built the system correctly. The requirements development process identifies the activities needed to produce a set of complete and verifiable requirements.

Learn how to:

• Write well-formed, validated requirements and specifications
• Analyze, Verify and Validate requirements into a user requirements document
• Create Project Plan/SEMP with  various plans, such as the review plans, configuration management plans, and risk plans. [Control the requirements development].
• Establish Configuration management [CM] the process to control changes to the requirements and manage the baseline documentation.
• Plan the Risk management to monitor, control, and mitigate high risk requirements.
• Manage Technical reviews to identify defects, conflicts, missing, or unnecessary requirements.
• Manage Stakeholder involvement which is  essential for validating the requirements. Are these the correct requirements?
• Establish Elicitation techniques to enable the discovery and understanding of the needed requirements.
• Manage Traceability of requirements to user needs & requirements, support documentation, and constraining policies [e.g., safety requirements].

Requirements define the functions, performance, and environment of the system under development to a level that can be built:Does the system do WHAT it is supposed to do? – These are Functional requirements.How well does the system do its functions? – These are Performance requirements.

TONEX Requirements Writing Training provides the foundation to produce requirements for the system and sub-systems with set of activities . The systems engineering standard [EIA 632] defines “requirement” as “something that governs what, how well, and under what conditions a product will achieve a given purpose.”

What is DFMEA?

DFMEA, or Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, is typically used in the early stage of the product lifecycle and development as a troubleshooting and assurance process and tool.

What is FMEA?

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is defined as a regular technique used to inhibit failure. Such action is conducted through the exploration of potential failure modes and the reasons can cause such failure. FMEA actions occur within a team activity by tackling high severity, high occurrence, and high detection rankings that is determined by the analysis. Only through the preventive process of FMEA we can assure the product performance is satisfactory and the chance of the product failure is reduced. The Design FMEA training course will help you explore these steps in detail and learn how to put them in action to prevent the system failure.

FMEA techniques are considered as a quality improvement tool. One of the reasons why FMEA has gained interests in recent years is because of automotive industry and implementing ISO/TS 16949. However, other industries such as aerospace, pharmaceutical, and electronics can benefit from such practice as a risk analysis tool and to increase the quality of their products. One of the beauties of this technique is its simplicity. Quality improvement tools are often made of complicated statistical analysis. Such simple yet sufficient and effective quality technique can save costs for the organization.
