The Equipment Reliability system ensures that critical gear performs as expected under real conditions. When it is functioning, it supports all other systems without demand. When it weakens, the systems that depend on it are exposed at the moment they require support most.
Equipment failure is rarely sudden. It develops through predictable degradation that is often overlooked until it reaches a point of consequence. The impact of failure is determined not by the item itself, but by the system that depends on it.
In this system, you will learn how equipment fails in the field, how to think about redundancy properly, and how equipment decisions influence system performance under pressure.
