Fault Tree/Success Tree Analysis
I.D. # 92028 Duration 1 Day
Sharpen your skills with this no-nonsense program that will show you practical ways to implement popular tools in your product/process design, manufacturing, reliability assurance and safety operations. Fault tree/success tree analysis are proven devices for improving the design of a product or process by revealing logical failure paths and appropriate actions for implementing design changes or controls.
