Introduction to Reliability, Availability & Maintainability20th, 21st & 22nd May 2009 - Open for Booking Venue: Midlands Innovation Centre, Athlone Institute of Technology, Athlone, Co.Westmeath.Provided by: International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety Training Academy
Course OutlineSpace Industry Skillnet is association with IAASS Space Safety Training Academy is proud to present a three day course in the basic principles of Reliability, Availability & Maintainability engineering with emphasis on space flight systems and ground support systems. It is a unique opportunity to recieve instruction in this critical topic from the world's leading space experts. Course DescriptionThe three day Design for Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM), will introduce the student to RAM concepts and provide a working knowledge of issues associated with providing RAM-appropriate designs for hardware and systems. The course has been developed to assist the student in improving the designed-in reliability, availability, and maintainability of their systems. The basic concepts and principles of designing for RAM are stressed. The participant is introduced to relevant publications that require and guide RAM design principles, as well as to general reference texts on subject areas covered. The course covers the RAM design techniques and analysis in enough detail to give the participant a working knowledge of their uses and how they are accomplished in practice. Practical exercises worked by the participants in groups are used to develop skills in analytical techniques. This course establishes a foundation for the participant to pursue more advanced studies of RAM in equipment & system design engineering principles while allowing participants to effectively apply their skills to straightforward analytical assignments.
Purpose of the CourseThe primary purpose of the course is to introduce the concepts of RAM and to provide an overview of reliability engineering technology with the purpose of instilling in engineers and managers the benefits that the application of RAM planning, principles, and practices can provide. Learning by DoingFollowing the detailed instructor led briefings the participants are encouraged to complete practical exercises illustrating RAM engineering techniques that help embed the knowledge provided during the course. . Who Should Attend this Course?The course is designed for engineers, designers, technicians, and program/project management personnel, as well as safety, reliability, quality, maintainability and health professionals who desire a basic understanding of RAM techniques and practices to apply to current and potential engineering projects.

Course Instructors:Vince LalliVince Lalli retired in 2004 after nearly fifty years in NASA and the aerospace industry working at Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio and for TRW. His work included managing, designing, and testing a variety of space systems and projects and management of the failure analysis and parts control laboratories. He additionally worked for eight years managing military projects at the US Army Picatinny Arsenal. His military and professional engineering and space management experience covers many projects giving him hands-on experience in research, development, test and evaluation, acquisition, operation, and safety and mission assurance for space and other complex, high-technology systems. Throughout his career, his focus has been on various elements of mission success. Mr. Lalli has a Batchelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering and a Master's Degree in Systems Engineering. He has received numerous awards including the NASA Exceptional Service Medal and the IEEE Millennium Medal. Paul D. KirkpatrickPaul Kirkpatrick works for NASA at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA. Mr. Kirkpatrick has worked at KSC for 20 years after serving in the U.S. Coast Guard. During his time at KSC, he worked with the Space Shuttle at Launch Complex 39B and performing Solid Rocket Booster retrieval operations. Subsequent to those activities, he became a Payload Safety Engineer (PSE) in support of the Shuttle/Station Ground Safety Review Panel. He served as the Lead Ground PSE for significant major payloads such as the Advanced Communications Technology Satellite, all three Space Radar Missions, Chandra X-Ray Telescope and the first five ISS assembly missions as well as Mars Pathfinder and Deep Space-1. Mr. Kirkpatrick is currently the Chairman of the Ground Safety Review Panel. Paul continued his Coast Guard career, retiring for the Reserve in 2002. Mr. Kirkpatrick is also the Chairman of the Technical Training Committee with the IAASS. Paul has received numerous awards included the NASA Exceptional Service Medal and the Silver Snoopy. Who are the IAASS?The International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety, is a non-profit organisation dedicated to furthering international cooperation and scientific advancement in the field of space systems safety. In October 2004 IAASS became member of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF). For more information please visit www.iaass.org. The philosophy of the IAASS is best summed up in the following: "Over the long run the safety of all human beings in the global commons of space is a responsibility that must be shared by all space-faring powers" (G. Rodney, NASA Associated Administrator S&MA 40th IAF Congress, October 1989, Beijing - China) Course ScheduleThe course will commence at 9.00am on Wednesday 20th May 2009 and end at 17.00 on Friday 22nd May 2009.
