Taking Reliability Block Diagrams to the Next Level

Using RBDs to model different systems and circumstances

In the previous post, the basics of a Reliability Block Diagram were covered using simple Series or Parallel paths.  In real life, most systems or processes are not that simple and require a different level or type of models, often used in combination with other types.

So in our continued exploration of RBDs, let’s explore a few different models that may be used.

Understanding Reliability Block Diagrams

How To Evaluate The Reliability Of A System Or Process

60% of failures and safety issues can be prevented by ensuring there is a robust equipment design and that Maintenance & Reliability is taken into account during the design phase. Equipment should be designed with the following in mind;

 

  • Designed for Fault Tolerance
  • Designed to Fail Safely
  • Designed with early warning of the failure to the user
  • Designed with a built-in diagnostic system to identify fault location
  • Designed to […]
