Appreciation course on Railway RAMS, System Engineering, and Assurance
2 days
Pre-Recorded

The course is expected to enable the participants to understand how the safety reliability as well as system engineering principles are more than paperwork and add real value to the design development of the railway projects.It will help to develop an appreciation of RAMS & System engineering among design engineers.

TWO days contact class

In today’s competitive environment where organizations are being challenged to improve performance and reduce costs, the use of reliability and safety engineering techniques which can lead to dramatic improvements in the safety and availability of railway whilst achieving significant savings in capital costs and similar savings in the railway operation

Manager and engineers who are directly responsible for design , construction and operation of the railway systems that are required to achieve a fit for purpose railway at an optimum cost

Attendees is expected to have an appreciation of system engineering principles as well as an understanding of safety and reliability engineering and how they make a significant impact in the quality of the railway systems delivered and its operational life

The course is expected to enable the participants to understand how the safety reliability as well as system engineering principles are more than paperwork and add real value to the design development of the railway projects.It will help to develop an appreciation of RAMS & System engineering among design engineers.
