Module 06: Reliability and Decision Theory
In this module, you will learn about the mathematical properties of reliability and the nature of decision theory as it relates to the operation of an organization. While there is some math in this module, it is no more difficult than adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. The results of those calculations provide powerful insight to the reliability of processes to deliver the best solution.
