Reliability & systems engineering

This raises questions in terms of predicted lifespans and reliability, for instance. Systems Engineering is an integral, structured approach for creating systems that are successful. Design and integration of reliable components and subsystems does not necessarily yield complete systems that are reliable in terms of fulfilling their function. A modern, integral product creation strategy, knowledge of systems engineering and RAMS are therefore indispensable. It is important that attention should be paid to a practical systematic approach in any design project – something that Alten’s engineers are very good at.

ALTEN is a networker in knowledge and so it has various links to the commercial sector, research institutes and the academic world, letting us keep our knowledge up-to-date and ensuring it remains valuable for you.

RAMS stands for Reliability Availability Maintainability Safety. It is extremely important to apply RAMS at the earliest possible stage in product development. In practice, this means that failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) will be performed early in the design process so that the risks can be estimated quickly.
