Fault Tree and Event Tree Analysis

This course aims to provide an understanding of the principles of fault tree and event tree analysis. It covers the development of fault tree and event tree models and populating them with suitable reliability data, human errors and dependent failures. It then considers quantification of the models and how they can be used to evaluate potential improvements.

At the end of the course you will be able to:

  1. Consider when it is appropriate to apply fault tree analysis and event tree analysis.
  2. Design and analyse fault tree models incorporating appropriate reliability data for components, human error and dependent failures.
  3. Generate and analyse event tree models.
