Windchill Risk and Reliability

This one-day course combines lecture content with guided workshops. It is designed to take new and experienced users through the basics of what is Windchill Risk & Reliability, how to drive some key tools and ensure an understanding of the basics of the software and its application in business environments.
Windchill Risk & Reliability software is a software tool enabling businesses to predict reliability metrics without field data, through using industry standard databases and methodologies, as well as using purpose driven software to improve reliability practices such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).

1 day course with guided workshops

Module 1 – Background & Basic Theory
A short lecture covering the fundamentals of reliability engineering. Learning about key principles, theory, terminologies, reliability metrics and the importance of reliability engineering and it’s applications.
Module 2 – What is Windchill Risk & Reliability
An explanation of the Windchill R&R tools and their capabilities. All Windchill R&R tools will be covered, outlining their key advantages and presenting use cases. An overview of the Windchill R&R interface and a basic workflow will be included.
Module 3 – Windchill Prediction (Reliability Prediction) & Workshop
Presenting the Windchill Prediction interface and its core functionalities, focusing on the reliability prediction function. The workshop will demonstrate how to import a system tree, search industry standard databases and perform a parts count analysis on a simple imported system tree to calculate a failure rate prediction for this system.
Module 4 – Windchill FMEA and Workshop
Introduction to the Windchill Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) interface and key features for performing effective FMEA’s. Delegates will learn how to import and export FMEA’s and utilise in-built time-saving techniques to enhance efficiency such as list libraries and fault equivalence files. In the workshop you will create a simple FMEA manually within Windchill R&R, perform FMEA calculations such as the Risk Priority Number (RPN). By the end of this module, delegates should be confident building their own FMEA’s in Windchill R&R.
