Course Introduction: MADE Training

This front-matter section only appears in the combined "MADE Training 3.9.1 (FULL)" deck — it is not part of any of the six individual Session decks, which each open directly with their own Session content. It functions as the instructor's course-kickoff material for the full multi-session training course.

Prerequisites

  • 1920x1080 HD screen resolution

Checklist before starting training

  • Computer: Does it meet recommended requirements?
  • MADE installation & license: Does everyone have a license? Is the license floating network or node-locked?
  • Training PowerPoint: Basis for presentation
  • Additional Material: Guides & Workflows in MADE Help; Tutorials available online

Meet & Greet

Icebreaker discussion prompts used to open the course:

  • What is your name?
  • What is your current position & responsibilities?
  • How do you see the MADE software being used in your organization?

Course Outline

The full course is structured as:

  • Introduction: MADE Training
  • Session 1: MADE Modeling
  • Session 2: Failure Simulation
  • Session 3: Safety Analyses
  • Session 4: Reliability Analyses
  • Session 5: Maintainability Analyses
  • Session 6: PHM Analyses
  • Conclusion: Using MADE

Discussion: What is MADE?

  • MADE is a modeling tool that allows users to generate a variety of analyses across different engineering domains.
  • The main objective in MADE is to create a suitable model of a platform/system that contains enough detail to achieve the analyses/outputs the user requires.
  • MADE currently has four modules:
    • Modeling: System and Mission Modeling
    • SRA: Safety and Risk Assessment
    • RAM: Reliability, Availability and Maintainability
    • PHM: Prognostics and Health Management

Discussion: MADE Modules

What can be done in each module:

  • Modeling: System and Mission Modeling — Functional Hazard Assessment, Functional system modeling, Mission Profile Definition, Dependency mapping
  • SRA: Safety and Risk Assessment — Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA), Control Measures, Common Mode Analysis (CMA), Critical Item Analysis, Fault Trees
  • RAM: Reliability, Availability and Maintainability — Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD), Reliability Allocation, Reliability Centered Maintenance, Maintenance Cost Estimates, Markov Analysis, Failure Rate Prediction
  • PHM: Prognostics and Health Management — Sensor set design, Diagnostic rule generation, Sensor Set trade study
