Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE)
- The Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) course is a specialized certification preparation program designed to help professionals pass the American Society for Quality (ASQ) CRE exam. It teaches you how to evaluate and predict product and system reliability, manage risks, and optimize product lifecycles to reduce costs. Reliability is not the responsibility of maintenance alone and outstanding performance can only be achieved with a strategy that includes operations, design, materials and contractors. This course is based upon our Model of Excellence for bringing all these considerations together as one to achieve pace-setter standards.
- This is a highly practical course that includes the latest thinking in reliability improvement, how to gain maximum benefit for minimum effort and how to develop bespoke reliability strategies that will integrate effectively with other campaigns. This will include methods and tools as well as the Carcharodon Model of Excellence to add structure and enable participants to break this complex subject into smaller, more understandable parts.
