Webinar details
Reliability and risk management play an important role in how engineering professionals assess uncertainty, evaluate competing priorities, and make informed decisions across complex projects and operations.
This webinar provides a high-level introduction to the principles of reliability and risk management, including what they are, why they matter, and how they can support effective decision-making across multiple engineering disciplines. Real-world examples will be used to demonstrate how these approaches can be applied in practice and to provide context for the concepts discussed.
The session is suitable for engineering professionals, technical professionals, project managers, and engineering students who want to develop a broader understanding of reliability and risk-based decision-making. No specialist background in reliability engineering or risk analysis is required.
