Systems RAMS Engineering, 5 cr

Core content

• Introduction of Systems RAMS Engineering Application and Management.
• Modeling and analysis of Systems failure cause-consequence logic.
• Specification and Allocation of Systems RAMS Design Requirements.
• Methods for seeking out and selecting Systems design solutions from RAMS point of view.
• Application of RAMS design review to Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) in system-service design and development process.

Complementary knowledge

• RAMS terminology. Concept of RAMS engineering process integrated in system design and realization, and technical management processes. (A system is a combination of interacting or interdependent elements organized to accomplish one or more stated functions. Respectively a system element is a discrete part of a system that can be implemented to fulfil specified requirements.)
• Event Logic Modelling and Analysis methods. Failure and operation structure. Deterministic and Probabilistic approach.
• Stakeholders Expectations and Requirements Definition.
• Simulation and calculation of reliability performance and maintenance costs. Application of expert judgement in RAMS data assessemt.
• Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) and Probabilistic Availability Assessment (PAA) and life cycle cost calculatiion.
