Together with our Partner Qinda technology in China, We started our first project in China in 2019. The Project objective is to support the RAMS program implementation. The first step was to deliver 40 hour training including:

• RAMS program,
• FMEA,
• Life Time Data Analysis and
• RAM analysis.

Technical environment:

Softwares: FMEA++, Blocksim and Weibul++ (Reliasoft).

This project started in the end of 2018 and will finish it first phase in February 2019 for a World Class Company in Austria. The objective was to review the RAMS methods implementation based on the reliability engineering best  practices in order to support the design and RAMS requirement achievement, verification and validation. During the project, the following methods were reviewed and discussed:

•  FMEA;
• Reliability and Maintainability prediction;
• RAM analysis;
• Preliminary Hazard Analysis;
• System hazard Analysis;
• Functional Hazard Analysis
• And SIL analysis.

Technical environment:

Softwares: Item toolkit, Blocksim and Weibul++ (Reliasoft).

This is a Hunnemeyer Consulting project that started in July 2018 and will finish the first phase  in July 2019. The ECC objective was to support the best class Engineering Consultant (Hunnemeyer Consulting ) based on Germany to implement specific reliability engineering methods to support the ILS program implementation for a world class Railway Company based in Zwitzerland. During the project the following methods were implemented:

•  FMEA;
• Reliability and Maintainability data prediction;
• RAM analysis;
• Maintainability Analysis;

Technical environment:

Softwares: Item toolkit and Weibul++ (Reliasoft).

This project started in the end of 2015 and finished in July 2017. The objective was to implement the RAMS program based on EN 50126 and best reliability engineering best  practices to support one of the best railway Engineering Consultant Companies in Austria (Molinari Railway) to deliver the Auxiliary Power Unit for a World Class Client in India. During the project the following methods were implemented:
