"Ops A La Carte prepared for Paramit Corp a 1/2 day reliability clinic for our customers that was very informative and useful to both our internal engineering teams and to our customers. Because of that one seminar, many customers expressed interest in HALT/HASS and some have proceeded down that path. Paramit plans on bringing Ops A La Carte in for a 2 day seminar internally in the near future. The benefit far exceeds the price."

Reliability Tools & Integration for the
Design Phase

OBJECTIVES
This course will look at reliability tools that are used in the design phase of a project after the reliability has been defined. Predictions, FMECAS, derating, and other forms of reliability analysis are performed here. These tools will only have an impact on the design if they are done very early in the design process.
