Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Testability, RAM-T Training Workshop
Learn how to conduct various analysis related to the overall reliability of a design, a process, as well as how they are constructed to be maintained (maintainability and testability). The combination of these three sub-disciplines determines the overall availability of a system design or a process. Analysis capabilities encompass multiple engineering disciplines including: mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, etc.
