Ops A La Carte 2012 Education Schedule (pdf)
The following is a list of all our public seminars for the next few months. Most of our seminars are taught as in-house tailored seminars. To view a list of all our seminars, please go to the Ops A La Carte Course List
In-House courses are customized and combined with other courses as required to meet client's goals. Courses cover principals, theory, and applications with lectures/workshops.
Course: Design for Reliability
Date(s): Jan 30-31, 2012 and again Feb 3-4, 2012
Time: 9am-5pm
Instructor: :Mike Silverman, Ops A La Carte
Length: 2 Days
Cost: Rs.12000 (US $225). We offer a Rs.2000 discount for AeSI Members / Academia
Location: India - Jan 30-31 in Bangalore and Feb 3-4 in Pune
Description: Reliability is no longer a separate activity performed by a distinct group within the organization. Product reliability goals, concerns and activities are integrated into nearly every function and process of an organization. Each organization must factor reliability into every decision in order to ensure produce a successful product. The old Test-Analyze-and-Fix philosophies no longer have a place in today’s design process due to continuous cost reduction pressures and reduced design cycles.
In this seminar, we will teach you the proper techniques to achieving Design for Reliability (DfR). We will take you through the four key phases of the product life cycle and how to integrate reliability within each phase:
1) Concept Phase
2) Design Phase
3) Prototype Phase
4) Manufacturing Phase
In the Concept Phase, you will learn how to assess your reliability program and how to benchmark against competitors in order to properly set the goal. You will also learn how to set metrics so that you can measure where you are against your goal at various stages in the product development process. Then you will learn how to write a Reliability Program Plan that encompasses your goals as well as all of the reliability activities that you will use to achieve your goals.
In the Design Phase, you will learn the best design analysis techniques to both improve and measure your product reliability while it is still being designed. These techniques include Reliability Predictions, FMEAs, Thermal Analysis, and Design of Experiments.
In the Prototype Phase, you will learn the best testing techniques to both discover any residual product weaknesses and to demonstrate your product reliability before it is released to production. These techniques include HALT, Accelerated Life Testing, and Reliability Demonstration Testing.
In the Manufacturing Phase, you will learn the best manufacturing reliability techniques to screen products for defects before shipping to customers and how to measure product performance in the field and feed it back into the product development process to improve the process for future iterations of the product.

2012 Free monthly Webinar Series
About Event: Each month, we will bring you a free webinar topic. Below is our current line-up for the remainder of 2012. You can click on the registration page for each event.
FREE WEBINAR on: Design of Experiments (DOE) and its many uses within Reliability - February 1, 2012, Click here to REGISTER
This is part of our monthly FREE Webinar series
Experimental design activities will be discussed including orthogonal matrix selection (with modification), factor selection, factor assignment, measurement system selection, objective(s) definition, and the process of planning and implementing experiments. Special attention will be give to experiments with reliability/robustness improvement objectives. Webinar is intended for practitioners, engineers, and engineering managers who have testing and experimentation responsibilities.

FREE WEBINAR on Tribology and Reliability, March 7, 2012, 11:30am-12:30pm
Click here to REGISTER
This is part of our monthly FREE Webinar series
Tribology is the science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion. In this seminar, we will introduce the basics of Tribology, their impact on reliability and do so from the perspective of machine applications. Lubrication, film thickness, loads and Hertzian contact types effect the reliability of a design. Weibull is frequently used to model wear characteristics, but is this always the best distribution for characterizing the reliability of machine elements? All of these areas will be explored.
