Summary
Course deals with theory of dependability of unrestored and restored objects. In
the meaning of ISO standards dependability is understood as availability and
factors affecting it at most are reliability, maintainability and maintenance
provision. Also this course is about improving dependability, corrective
maintenance policy problems, preventive maintenance and methods of its
optimization. Also it’s focused on implementing of complex productive
maintenance and diagnostic methods problems including use of artificial
intelligence (AI) elements at its applications.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students will be able to establish indicators of dependability and to analyze production processes from the standpoint of dependability improvement by conceptual and technical measures. Students will be competent to take a share in proposals, realizations and technique operation for dependability and production quality improvement in decision making process.
Course Contents
1. Introduction to the problems dependability technical objects, determination notion quality and dependability.
2. Indexes dependability objects, system access to increases in dependability, classification failures.
3. Statistically and probability expression indices of dependability.
4. Indices dependability unrenewed objects.
5. Indices dependability recnewed objects.
6. Theoretic statutes probability distribution in locution indicator dependability.
7. Maintainability technical objects.
8. Organization planning and assurance of maintainance.
9. Costs on life cycle, economics aspects at optimalization maintainance.
10. Dependability evaluation systems, examination dependability of elements and systems.
11. Dependability model of systems.
12. Increasing dependability systems, hardware redundance – backup.
13. Problems software dependability.
14. Diagnostics at increasing dependability, basic method diagnostics.
15. Dependability and organization maintainance.
