The main purpose of the reliability engineer is to prevent the negative consequences of asset failures, rather than preventing all asset failures. This statement is expanded on and explored in this course, in which we define reliability terminology and principles, explain the importance of the PF curve, and align on the functions of the reliability engineer. We also look at different kinds of failures, various maintenance methodologies, and how the reliability engineer can select the appropriate maintenance strategy by using the so-called FMEA or RCA process.
