Risk and Reliability
This area of work predicts the probability or frequency that the system will experience failure. Whilst the broad area is known as reliability engineering, risk and reliability analysis involves the prediction of both the unreliability and unavailability of the system.
The approaches adopted predict the system level performance in terms of the component performance and investigates the effects that the alternative designs (e.g. increasing levels of redundancy), the use of better quality components, or alternative maintenence strategies have on system performance. By optimising, accounting for limitations in the resoursces available, the most effective selection of the possible options can be identified.
