ASQ Reliability Division Webinar Series – English
Bayesian Methods in Reliability Engineering

PRESENTER: Charles Recchia

DATE: November 15, 2012 09:00 US Pacific Coast Time

DESCRIPTION: With product reliability demonstration test planning and execution weighing heavily on cost, availability and schedule factors, Bayesian methods offer an intelligent way of incorporating engineering knowledge based on historical information into data analysis and interpretation, resulting in an overall more precise and less resource intensive failure rate estimation. This talk consists of three parts
1. Introduction to Bayesian vs Frequentist statistical approaches
2. Bayesian formalism for reliability estimation
3. Product/component case studies and examples

ASQ Reliability Division Webinar Series – Chinese
Efficient Combinatorial Models for Reliability Analysis of Complex Dynamic Systems (基于组合模型的复杂动态系统可靠性分析) 

PRESENTER: Dr. Liudong Xing (邢留冬博士)


DATE: November 8, 2011 19:00 US Pacific Coast Time

DESCRIPTION: In the area of system reliability analysis, dynamic and dependent behaviors such as multi-state, multi-phase, functional dependence, common cause failures, competing failures, standby sparing, and sequence dependence have been recognized as a significant contribution to problems in overall system reliability. However, with the incorporation of those behaviors, resulting dynamic system reliability models cannot be efficiently and accurately solved by existing state space based models such as Markov methods. In this presentation, an overview on various dynamic and dependent behaviors will be presented first. Efficient combinatorial approaches, in particular, decision diagrams will then be discussed for the reliability analysis of multi-state systems with illustration of examples from areas of computer systems, capacitated transmission networks, and MCNC benchmark circuits.

The Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS)

The Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS) is the premier event in the reliability, availability, and maintainability engineering disciplines. Combining tutorials, presentations, CEUs, certifications, and networking into one week-long program, the RAMS(r) delivers cutting edge information to all technical industries.  RAMS(r) 2013 will be held at Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando, Florida, January 28-31, 2013. This year's theme is "Reliability, the Key to a Better Bottom Line".
 
RAMS 2013 will focus on the continuing development of reliability (and safety) as a competitive advantage in every industry from communications and energy to transportation and defense. In the history of this Symposium, reliability, maintainability, and safety have never been more crucial in the design, development, and operation of components, systems, and networks. 

Tutorials will provide fundamental exposure to topics ranging from introductory through intermediate to advanced, and are presented in two-hour in-depth sessions. 30-minute paper presentations and discussions will work to advance reliability research, using theory, success stories, and lessons learned. 

Attendance at RAMS(r) presentations and tutorials may be used to earn CEUs, as well as RAMS(r) Tutorial Certification. ASQ Certification exams are also available onsite.

The ASQ Reliability Division will be offering an eight hour workshop on Design of Experiments immediately following the Symposium at 1:00 to 5:00 pm on Thursday, Jan 31st and 8:00 am to noon on Friday, Feb 1st.   You can register for the workshop during RAMS® registration. ASQ RD members get a $100 discount on the workshop. 
 
Registration is open now. Take the advantage of early registration rates until 12/17/2012!
