Program Overview
This course provides a comprehensive understanding of Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA), focusing on the identification and mitigation of interconnected risks within automotive systems. Participants will explore concepts such as independence, interference, and freedom from interference, and their impact on system reliability. Through real-life case studies, interactive exercises, and hands-on simulations, attendees will learn to identify common cause failures, cascading failures, and their implications. The program equips participants with actionable skills to enhance system resilience, reduce operational risks, and ensure uninterrupted functionality in automotive manufacturing.
