RS 490 Training Seminar
Standards Based Reliability Prediction

RS 490 provides an overview of standards based reliability prediction techniques, with an emphasis on the use of ReliaSoft’s Lambda Predict software to build and analyze system configurations in accordance with a published prediction standard (such as MIL-HDBK-217, Bellcore/Telcordia or NSWC).

The course presents concepts and software tools that you could use to help your organization:

• Obtain an initial indication of whether a design will be able to meet reliability objectives and identify potential problem areas early in development.
• Compare design alternatives and/or trade-off system design factors.
• Consider environmental and other stress factors that have a significant impact on system performance yet may otherwise be overlooked.
