The subject Reliability and Functional Safety deals with the following analytical and computational procedures:
- properties of continuous and discrete random variable
- risk analysis using the SIRF400 method
- FMEA analysis
- FTA analysis
- design and calculation of diagnostic coverage of the safety function
- calculation of the target failure rate of the safety function
- functional safety management
- reliability tests
