Reliability and Six Sigma is a carefully developed integration of mathematical models that relate Six Sigma and reliability measures. Case studies further integrate the material throughout the book to illustrate the application of the models. In addition, the book introduces and discusses the following aspects of reliability and Six Sigma:

- The concept of reliability and Six Sigma and their role in system effectiveness

- Basic probability and statistical techniques essential for analyzing reliability and Six Sigma problems

- The measures of Six Sigma and reliability: how to predict them, interpret them, and how these measures are related

- Tools and techniques needed for evaluation of system reliability and the relationship between system reliability and Sigma level

- The design-for-reliability and the tools that are essential to implement Reliability and Six Sigma projects

- Issues related to and the management of in-service reliability

- Techniques to estimate the methodologies from in-service and test data

Review

From the reviews:

"Six Sigma is essentially a method of assessing and improving quality ... . This text basically describes a large number of reliability measures, and shows how they can be translated into Six Sigma measures. ... the book does a fine job of introducing reliability engineers or reliability theorists into the basics of the Six Sigma methodology." (Moshe Shaked, Zentrablatt MATH, Vol. 1096 (22), 2006)

"Six Sigma is essentially a measure of process capability and allows less than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. ... The book is interspersed with several useful case studies from live examples, which make a good reading for a beginner in the subject. The book is recommended to all those who would like to see symbiosis between improved reliability design of a product and Six Sigma strategy for performance improvement." (Krishna B. Misra, International Journal of Performability Engineering, Vol. 4 (3), 2008)
