RS 403
 		Introduction to System Reliability/Maintainability Analysis
Session 3 of the MSMT Foundations Series
Training Course Overview

This one-day training session builds upon previously learned concepts and introduces system reliability, maintainability and availability analysis theory and applications. This training course utilizes BlockSim, ReliaSoft's software for ascertaining and optimizing system reliability and maintainability using a reliability block diagram (RBD) approach. This also serves as the foundation for our follow up, three-day course on the subject: Advanced System Reliability/Maintainability Analysis (RS 522).
