Chris and Joe Bell from G2OPs talk about systems engineering and how it relates to reliability engineering. Joe and his team focus on Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and was hoping to learn more about reliability and MBSE at the 2020 Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS). Was RAMS successful in helping out Joe? Listen to this podcast to learn more.

Chris discusses … what you want. Pretty broad I know. But there are things we really want – things we dedicate our time, effort and attention to. And then there are things we say we want. And the human brain is actually specifically structure to pick up on different cues to work out if you are really interested in something (or not). So we can pretty easily work out if you say you want something – but don’t really want it to the extent you want other things. Why does this relate to reliability engineering?
