Hi all Reliability Professionals,
ASQ Reliability Division is please to provide free webinars for your professional development . Please, review the following notes and register for the webinar of you choice, invite your friends and colleges, too - all are welcome and free to attend the live events.
English Webinar series
TOPIC: Reliability in the Solar Universe
PRESENTER: Mike Silverman & Tom Ortman
DATE: Thursday, Nov 10, 2011, Noon - 1:00 pm EDT
DESCRIPTION: The universe of solar products is large and expanding exponentially.
Most of us are not aware of the manifold applications of solar energy from photovoltaic modules and solar furnaces through manned air travel in planes that never need fuel.
Of all of the emerging clean tech industries, the solar industry is one of the most challenging from a reliability engineering perspective because the industry is innovating so rapidly. Customers (and investors) are demanding very high reliability products, exceeding 25 years in many applications. As this industry grows and expands in every direction, with many new and diverse technologies, the core element of reliability will continue to be critical for success, whether we are powering our homes, cars, clothing or sidewalks.
Each aspect of a solar product must be considered for reliability. For example, in a solar power installation, the cells, the panels, the trackers, the inverters, even the installation itself, there are opportunities for failures. Whether industrial, commercial or residential, these applications have a high demand for reliability because the solar products will usually be taking the place of an incumbent, and therefore, they must be as good or better.
Chinese Webinar Series
TOPIC: 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)
Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth (电子和计算机工程系副教授)
Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth (电子和计算机工程系副教授)
DATE: Wednesday, November 9, 2011
11:00 am - Noon, Beijing Time
(Tuesday, Nov 8, 2011, 7-8 pm US Pacific Time)
11:00 am - Noon, Beijing Time
(Tuesday, Nov 8, 2011, 7-8 pm US Pacific 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.
Spanish Webinar Series
TOPIC: Entendiendo y Usando Availability (Disponibilidad)
PRESENTER: Jorge Luis Romeu
DATE: Tuesday, November 15, 2011
Noon - 1:00 pm, US Eastern Time
Noon - 1:00 pm, US Eastern Time
DESCRIPTION: Availability (Disponibilidad) es la medida de rendimiento probabilistica que evalua un sistema, con respecto a su capacidad para ser usado cuando se le necesita. En este Webinar hablaremos sobre como medir la Disponibilidad bajo tres diferentes definiciones practicas (inherente, alcanzada y operacional). Utilizaremos dos enfoques (teoricos y practicos) para analizarla. Utilizaremos dos metodos (estadisticos y de cadenas de Markov) para calcular su rendimiento. Veremos el caso en que el sistema permite redundancias, y se lepermite que opere en estado degradado. Finalmente, hablaremos de como mejorar la Disponibilidad de un sistema. Daremos algunos ejemplos numericos y presentaremos algunas comparaciones.
Also, immediate following RAMS On January 26th and 27th
The ASQ Reliability Division is pleased to offer an 8 hour course immediately following RAMS in Reno, NV. Fill out your week of training by adding this course.
Attendees are expected to bring their own laptop computers. While the course will concentrate on the content, not any particular software, a software package is necessary to facilitate learning of the material. Minitab will be used. If attendees do not have Minitab installed on their computer, a 30-day free trial can be downloaded from www.minitab.com, but please make note not to download and install the software more than 30 days prior to the course.
Attendees will earn 0.8 RU’s for attending.
Sign up during your registration for RAMS at www.rams.org

Cheers,
Fred
