The objective of the first part of the course is to train students in the methods of determining the reliability and use of the data on the reliability of the elements / systems. The aim of the second part of the course is to teach students the basics of maintenance (concepts, technologies, diagnostics ...), so they are ready for the attending the course that further study of each of these elements

After passing the exam, students will be able to calculate the reliability of the elements on the basis of collected data, calculation of system reliability based on defined / specific elements reliability of the system and block diagram are defined in terms of the reliability of the observed system. Students will also gain a general knowledge of the construction and use of fault tree analysis and design elements on the basis of reliability. In addition, students will be able to participate in defining the procedures of maintenance interventions, making maintenance plans, defining appropriate technology for renewal of spare parts, maintenance costs, and defining the basic tenet of maintenance success.

Structure for dependability: The mathematical basis of reliability, reliability elements, system reliability, the reliability allocation, design based on reliability, fault tree analysis. structure for maintenance: history of maintenance, condition based maintenance, maintenance policy, position and organization of maintenance, the IIS approach for design and maintenance management, maintenance technology, technical diagnostics, maintenance models, maintenance costs, success of maintenance.

The program consists of two parts. The first part covers the theoretical background, while the second part includes auditory and computational exercises where students apply the mathematical apparatus in order to determine the reliability of the observed elements / systems and, in the second part of the examination, to determine the optimal period of preventive maintenance interventions. During lectures and during exercise a laptop and projector beam are used, because of the need for more vivid and more accurate representation of the teaching units key elements. Whenever it is possible, prepared data and the diagrams will be used, with use of the simulation change of the certain parameters of theoretical distributions and graphical representation of these changes.
