Description
"Reliability Engineering Statistics" was designed by reliability and quality engineering professionals to teach the foundational analytical skills needed to advance your career in reliability engineering.
Based on the American Society of Quality's (ASQ) Body of Knowledge for the Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) exam , this course steps through each of the Basic Concepts found in the section titled "Probability and Statistics for Reliability". But this is far more than an exam prep course!! Each concept is supplemented with real-world examples, "how to" sections in Microsoft Excel, and detailed explanations that unpack the theories into a genuinely useful set of analytical tools.
In this course, you will learn the statistical skills needed to continue onto more advanced topics like accelerated life testing and reliability planning. The topics in this course include:
Continuous distributions (normal, lognormal, exponential, Weibull and chi square)
Discrete distributions (binomial, poisson, geometric, hypergeometric)
Working with distributions in Microsoft Excel
Permutations, combinations, Venn diagrams
Building and interpreting control charts
Process capability analysis (Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk)
Evaluating reliability block diagrams (series, parallel, k of n)
Confidence intervals
Modality, kurtosis, skew and MUCH MORE!!
While not a full exam prep course, "Reliability Engineering Statistics" will demystify the toughest and longest section (over 25%) of the CRE exam, and teach you the concepts you need to understand higher level concepts like modeling accelerated life test and warranty failure data.
This class will take your analytical problem solving skills through the roof and prepare you to start tackling the toughest problems in engineering and design.

I am a seasoned ASQ certified reliability engineer (CRE) with experience in life data analysis, reliability modeling and simulation, warranty analysis and life predictions.
My work has been with both military and commercial products and I have experience in product development as well as sustaining existing products.
I specialize in using existing data to predict the future so management can make good decisions regarding warranty costs, inventory requirements, expected part replacements, etc.
