1st Edition
by Dev G. Raheja (Editor), Louis J. Gullo (Editor)
A unique, design-based approach to reliability engineering
Design for Reliability
provides engineers and managers with a range of tools and techniques
for incorporating reliability into the design process for complex
systems. It clearly explains how to design for zero failure of critical
system functions, leading to enormous savings in product life-cycle
costs and a dramatic improvement in the ability to compete in global
markets.
Readers will find a wealth of design practices not
covered in typical engineering books, allowing them to think outside the
box when developing reliability requirements. They will learn to
address high failure rates associated with systems that are not properly
designed for reliability, avoiding expensive and time-consuming
engineering changes, such as excessive testing, repairs, maintenance,
inspection, and logistics.
Special features of this book include:
- A unified approach that integrates ideas from computer science and reliability engineering
- Techniques applicable to reliability as well as safety, maintainability, system integration, and logistic engineering
- Chapters
on design for extreme environments, developing reliable software,
design for trustworthiness, and HALT influence on design
Design for Reliability
is a must-have guide for engineers and managers in R&D, product
development, reliability engineering, product safety, and quality
assurance, as well as anyone who needs to deliver high product
performance at a lower cost while minimizing system failure.
