This document outlines the learning objectives and activities for a three-day training on system reliability and availability modeling using Weibull analysis and availability modeling. Day 1 focuses on applying Weibull analysis to failure data through individual and group exercises to determine parameters, calculate reliability, and build process reliability plots. Day 2 introduces availability modeling, including building reliability block diagrams, calculating system reliability for series, redundant, and complex systems through individual and group exercises. An optional Day 3 allows building and analyzing complex system models using simulation software.
