Reliability Data Analysis
training number: Reliability_DA
Classroom and Online Training:
You can attend our Reliability / Life Data Analysis training either as a classroom / face-to-face training or as an online training.
We offer the following types of trainings:
- Public classroom / face-to-face training
- Public online training
- In-house classroom / face-to-face training
- In-house online training
The classroom / face-to-face training lasts 2 days and takes place all day. The venue is usually the Parkhotel Stuttgart Messe-Airport, 70771 Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany.
The online training is a combination of live webinars and individual self-learning and takes about 5 days (only half days). You get access to our learning management system (LMS), where you log on and access a range of resources, such as learning videos, quizzes, exercises and solutions and calculation templates. You can access the learning materials on a computer, notebook, tablet, or smartphone. You will be guided through the course in order, but you can work at your own pace.
In the table below you will find a comparison between classroom / face-to-face and online training, which will make it easier for you to choose the form of training that is right for you.

Training content:
Day 1
Introduction
- Introduction to reliability engineering
- Reliability in the product development process
Mathematical Description of Reliability
- Basic concepts of statistics and probability theory
- Weibull distribution

Day 2
Data Analysis I (Complete Data)
- Median rank method
- Weibull probability plot
- Weibull analysis
- Acceleration factor
Data Analysis II (Censored Data)
- Type I and type II censoring
- Multiple censoring
- Weibull analysis based on censored data

- Competing failure modes
Various exercises
Various exercises provide an opportunity to apply and expand the knowledge learned practically. Several different applications are analyzed and the results interpreted together. Issues include:
- When is a two-parameter or a three-parameter Weibull distribution suitable?
- How big should the correlation coefficient be for a good fit?
- What are the differences between the least squares method and maximum likelihood?
- Is it a batch problem?
- Are there competing failure mechanisms?
Target group:
Engineers, technicians, specialists from the areas of development, testing, construction, research and quality assurance.
About the topic:
Life data from tests, field data from the warranty period and field data in general can exist in different forms and data quality. Numerous practical exercises are used in the seminar to show how Weibull analyses can be carried out and interpreted for different data structures independently and with the help of Minitab software. The analytical methods for the analysis of complete and censored datasets are covered. The focus of the seminar is the shape and quality of data-dependent, application-oriented selection of appropriate evaluation methods.
Prerequisites:
There are no prerequisites for this topic.
Software requirements:
Each participant must have a laptop with the following software: Microsoft Excel, Adobe Reader and Minitab (from Version R15). A demo version of the Minitab software can be downloaded from www.minitab.com.
Certification:
The training will end in all cases with a certificate of participation.
Venue:
Parkhotel Stuttgart Messe-Airport
Filderbahnstraße 2
70771 Leinfelden-Echterdingen
In-house:
We also offer all our seminars and trainings as an in-house event.
Coaching:
Should you so wish, we can put together a time and content tailored coaching concept for you after completion of the training.
