Course Description
Railway RAMS is an engineering discipline that integrates reliability, availability,
maintainability and safety characteristics appropriate to the operational objectives of a railway system into the inherent product design property through railway systems engineering.
RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety) is a decision-making key factor in railway business to improve the operational effectiveness. This 5-day training course will provide you with a comprehensive approach for the application of RAMS management to railway systems engineering.
The course also includes basics of System engineering /Assurance processes required for the implementation of RAMS in the railway.
In addition, this course will also discuss both ‘design for RAMS’ and ‘RAMS verification’ activities to provide the viewpoints of producer and customer.
