Course Description

This course is designed to improve the competency of suppliers such that they understand how to draft, use and maintain an effective FMEA and to extend this where failures cannot be designed out, using failure management and reliability prediction as part of RCM to create a suggested maintenance regime as an effective member of an FMEA team. Network Rail staff need to understand how to participate effectively as a customer in such a team. All attendees need to understand how to assess an FMEA and provide constructive feedback on how to improve it, either as an auditor of evidence submitted from a supplier or to assist colleagues to improve the effectiveness of their FMEAs and failure management. It is also desired that the course is modular such that it can meet the needs of both those applying DFR and those applying RCM to legacy assets on the railway.

DfR Design for Reliability - Advanced Courses: Requirements Planning and QFD

Course Description

To improve the competency of attendees to set effective requirements for railway products, to use historic failure data to supplement these requirements and to use Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to translate requirements into engineering characteristics, design characteristics, process parameters and finally into control methods. At each stage, priority is given to items that are new, important or difficult.  Attendees will learn how to: - Use the resulting QFD to identify and exploit gaps and opportunities
- How to assess a QFD
- How to provide constructive feedback to improve it a QFD either as an auditor of evidence submitted from a supplier or to assist colleagues to improve the effectiveness of their QFD

The course includes an assessment leading to a certificate being awarded to successful delegates. The course covers how to assemble and use the LaserSweepTM and includes hints and tips for ensuring that the measured profile is an accurate representation of the structure. The course alone does not qualify the delegate as a surveyor but complements surveying skills already held. The training takes place at LaserRails specially converted permises in Holmewood, where a length of ballasted railway track is available indoors. This is used for many practical, hands-on exercises with the LaserSweep making the training very relevant to real life experience. No official prerequisites are required but it is assumed that delegates are competent in using a PC with good working knowledge of Microsoft Windows. Buffet Lunch is provided during the course

Upon successful completion of the course delegates will have knowledge of the correct procedures and standards to follow when checking signalling designs. Delegates will also be able to identify and record errors and mistakes in signalling designs and record these appropriately in accordance with standards and procedures. This knowledge and skill will augment delegates' existing signalling design skills. Mentoring Arrangements:
  • Mentoring of delegates who have successfully completed the course will be in accordance with existing mentoring requirements of the Signalling Design Group, which will take account of the individual's existing skills and experience and IRSE licence holding. SDG Line Managers are responsible for determining the competency levels and mentoring requriements of their staff.

Audience
