ABOUT THE COURSE: Every engineer should be aware of customer needs expressed in terms of reliability requirements. A successful product/system need to translate these requirements and ensure that the reliability requirements are met. It is essential to understand terms and how they are evaluated. At present most products need to provide reliability information along with functions. This course will help students to know this important aspect and way to address these requirements. INTENDED AUDIENCE: UG/PG Students from all engineering branches INDUSTRY SUPPORT: Industries where safety and high performance is a concern, like nuclear, railways, defence etc. Industries who face tough market competition.
