Course Objectives
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Analyze the definition of reliability
- Determine the relationship between reliability,
probability, and failure rate
- Define systems configurations and their related
reliabilities
- Determine how to improve the reliability of a
system or component(s)
- Recognize reliability as an engineering
function
SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT: Felix Cestari
Felix A. Cestari has
over forty (40) years of experience in Mechanical Engineering, out of which
thirty (30) have been in the Oil & Gas industry, in the areas of Research
and Development (R&D); rotating and reciprocating equipment design, troubleshooting
and field technical support. Additionally, Mr. Cestari has experience in
compressor design, product development, failure analysis, root cause analysis
and risk assessment (RCA, FMEA, HAZOP and Reliability). He has also worked in
safety analysis in compressor packaging, re-aero of compressors, vibration and
rotordynamics analysis, finite element analysis (FEA), computerized fluid
dynamics (CFD) analysis and pipe stress and flexibility analysis. He holds a Bachelor
of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the Central University of Venezuela,
and a Master of Science in Mechanics from Illinois Institute of Technology in
Chicago, Illinois.

Accreditation: This course is intended to present the essentials of reliability and a practical approach to its calculation and improvement. Participants will be able to apply basic concepts related to reliability to work on system improvements, calculate maintenance (preventive and predictive), and define warranty periods. We will be looking not only at the definition of reliability, but also other related measurements and systems configurations, as they are found in the real world.
