Risk, Reliability and Safety are vitally important to prevent and mitigate against major failures and disasters and to promote learning from failures using operational research methods and multiple criteria decision making and demonstrate their practical application to cases of major failures and disasters. This intensive Coventry Academy training course will show how one can learn generic lessons from those disasters. This training course will cover state-of-the-art research in Risk Assessment and Management, Reliability Engineering, Decision Analysis and Safety Management.
What are the goals?
By attending this Coventry Academy training course, delegates will be able to make a substantial, positive impact on the resilience, safety and reliability best practices within their organization, more specifically:
Explain the benefits of acquiring best practices from High Reliability Organizations (HROs)
Show how activities play a part in helping their organization perform at a higher level
Determine methods for generating and implementing Effective Performance Metrics
Analyze critically the methodologies employed in the organization & implement improvements
Link theory with practice and exposes the delegates to the evolutionary trends in Risk, Safety and Reliability Analyses
Learn how to serve on an investigation team of a disaster
Who is this training course for?
This Coventry Academy training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals who are involved in any aspect of reliability, and safety and who want to understand, implement and improve the latest reliance concepts, processes and ideas. For example:
Reliability & Safety Professionals
Other Professionals Involved in Process Improvement
Maintenance Managers
Operational Managers
Maintenance & Reliability Engineers
Technical Managers & Supervisors
Board Level Executives and Non-Executives
Consultants in Reliability, Safety and Asset Management
