Dr Babakalli is the AHoD of Department of Mechanical Engineering, and the module leader for maintenance
management, reliability and availability and TOGI module at Glasgow Caledonian University. Tutor for the Energy
Audit and Energy Asset Management module.
Dr Babakalli was a Research Fellow at Strathclyde University, Department of management science, Strathclyde
Business School, Glasgow (2005 - 2008).
He holds a BSc in Statistics and an MSc and PhD in Operational Research and Applied Mathematical Statistics from
the Centre of Operational Research and Applied Statistics, University of Salford, Greater Manchester.
His PhD research work is in industrial risk, reliability and maintenance modelling of complex systems (oil platform gas
turbines and gas generators). His research focus is on industrial and energy assets. He is active in data acquisition and
gathering, performs analysis and relative comparison to support effective decision making process.

Module Summary
This module aims to provide an understanding of the
fundamentals of reliability and decision theory. It will
examine these techniques as applied to risk, reliability,
availability and maintenance management. It will also
bridge the gap between theoretical subject of "Reliability
Engineering" (RE) and day-to-day equipment maintenance
practice. In addition, techniques will be treated to analyse
field data to report on business targets. Apart from these
quantitative approaches, attention will be paid to a variety
of formal, qualitative risk identification and maintenance
optimisation methods used in industry.

Background
The recognition of reliability and maintainability as
vital factors in the development, production, and
maintenance of todays complex systems has placed
greater emphasis on the application of design evaluation
techniques to logistic management. Reliability and
maintainability can identify critical failure modes and
causes of failure and provide an effective tool for
predicting equipment behaviour and selecting
appropriate measures to ensure satisfactory
performance
11
Introduction
Reliability has always been an important aspect in the
assessment of industrial products and/or equipments.
Good product design is of course essential for products with
high reliability. However, no matter how good the product
design is, products deteriorate over time since they are
operating under certain stress or load in the real environment,
often involving randomness. Maintenance has, thus, been
introduced as an efficient way to assure a satisfactory level
of reliability during the useful life of a physical asset.

They are written by authorities in the field; practitioners, and academics who are
gurus in the field.
They are therefore written very carefully so that it is difficult to swap any word in
the definition with an alternative one.
They stand time. Definitions last for generations.
They influence cultures. For example failure in the West is defined as termination
of function, whereas the Japanese treat it as deterioration of function and hence
the six losses. This has influenced our design of CMMS in capturing failure.
They help to standardise the language (for example for contracts and for recording
failures).

What is Reliability?
Reliability
Definition of Reliability
Reliability is the probability that a product or service will
operate properly for a specified period of time (design life)
under the design operating conditions (such as temperature
or volt) without failure. (Elsayed, 1996)
In other words, reliability may be defined as a measure of
the systems success in providing its function properly.

Factors of safety.
Leads to the compounding of many different safety factors.
Compensate for uncertainty.
Lead to over design(increased weight and cost).
Redundancy.
Compensate for uncertainty.
Lead to over design(increased weight and cost).
Extensive testing.
Significant increase in expenditure.
Can lead to product launch delays.
Test environment may be an inadequate simulation of the operating
environment.
