Revised and expanded, this work has been updated to reflect the enormous changes that have taken place in the field. Greater prominence has been given to the complete integration of the processes that influence quality and reliability in product specification, design, test, manufacture and support as well as the essentials inherent in the understanding and control of variation, as it relates to product performance, cost and reliability. The chapter on the use of statistical experimentation has been expanded as have the chapters on production quality assurance and management. Electronic systems reliability has been updated and there's even a new chapter on the reliabililty of mechanical components and systems. Included for the first time is the important work done by Taguchi and Shainin.

THE classic text on reliability engineering and management has now been fully revised and updated.
Practical Reliability Engineering provides a comprehensive, up-to-date description of all the important methods for the design, development, manufacture and maintenance of reliable engineering products and systems. Students, engineers and managers alike will find this a valuable reference source.
With emphasis firmly placed on the practical aspects of reliability engineering, the fourth edition provides extended coverage of mechanical, electronic and software failure mechanisms, design and testing. New sections include Petri nets for system reliability modelling, accelerated test and the M(t) data analysis method. Recent developments in international standardisation are discussed and guidance is provided on essential management issues. The inclusion of a draft Project Reliability Plan enhances the value to those involved in systems engineering and project management.
Practical Reliability Engineering fulfils the requirements of the qualifying examination in reliability engineering of the American Society for Quality (USA). The updated end of chapter questions make this a key text for students undertaking courses in quality assurance or reliability.
