dc.description.abstract | Today, companies have a great attention to their product's cost and time-to-
market, to become more competitive in the global market. Reliability engineering
as one of the most important topics in system engineering is employed by compa-
nies to not only assess the value of the product, but also to identify, prevent, and
reduce the risks of potential failures associated with design and manufacture of a
product.
This study is conducted to implement reliability systems engineering in DNVGLFF
2015 as a partial preparation of DNVGL prototype to participate in SEM 2015.
The author's objective is to investigate the eect of reliability engineering on
DNVGL prototype system. The scope of this thesis is mainly focused on the
initial three stages of the system life-cycle.
The former DNVGL team have been faced with problems in the prototype's brak-
ing system during the completion. As a result, the author decided to apply design
for reliability (DFR) techniques on braking sub-system with the aim of identifying
potential failures and propose possible solutions to mitigate their risks. In doing
so, the reliability methods including RBD, FMECA, and FTA are employed in
this thesis. | |
