The Lectures on reliability issues at the LHC will be focused on five main Modules on five days.
Module 1: Basic Elements in Reliability Engineering
Some basic terms, definitions and methods, from components up to the system and the plant, common cause failures and human factor issues.
Module 2: Interrelations of Reliability & Safety (R&S)
Reliability and risk informed approach, living models, risk monitoring.
Module 3: The ideal R&S Process for Large Scale Systems
From R&S goals via the implementation into the system to the proof of the compliance.
Module 4: Some Applications of R&S on LHC
Master logic, anatomy of risk, cause - consequence diagram, decomposition and aggregation of the system.
Module 5: Lessons learned from R&S Application in various Technologies
Success stories, pitfalls, constrains in data and methods, limitations per se, experienced in aviation, space, process, nuclear, offshore and transport systems and plants.
The Lectures will reflect in summary the compromise in creating awareness of newcomers for the topic as well as in training of practitioners in the field.
