What is a ‘Fault Tree’?

podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson

If you have spent any time doing reliability engineering stuff, you will probably have heard of this thing called a ‘fault tree.’ You may have even used fault trees a lot. But it is amazing how many different reliability engineers have different ideas about how to use a fault tree best. Some think fault trees are strictly used to work out which combinations of components need to fail for the system to fail (system reliability modeling). Others think fault trees are really useful for helping us work out what the causes of failure are (root cause analysis). Both people are right. So why do we get these competing schools of thought? Join us for this webinar to learn more about how fault trees can help you … regardless of what you are trying to achieve.

Reliability Apportionment and How to Do It

Reliability apportionment is a power tool to enable your team to make decisions while fully considering the reliability impact.

Fundamentals of RBD

Reliability Block Diagrams are a useful and simple tool to encourage reliability discussions and improved decisions.

Fundamentals of Physics of Failure

Let's consider physics of failure (PoF) models, how to use them, plus how to create them, as a central element of your reliability program.

Fundamentals of Monte Carlo Analysis

The Monte Carlo method is a relatively simple process that permits you to create models that include the naturally occurring variability.

3 Ways to Do Reliability Allocation

Having a reliability target for your product is great. But how does that help all the little design teams? Use subgroup targets.

Reliability Life Models

Failure is a random process. Which means we can't predict with absolute certainty when something will fail. Enter 'reliability life models.'
