Applied Reliability and Quality: Fundamentals, Methods and Procedures
Today, billions of dollars are being spent annually world wide to develop reliable
and good quality products and services. Global competition and other factors are
forcing manufacturers and others to produce highly reliable and good-quality
products and services. Needless to say, nowadays reliability and quality principles
are being applied across many diverse sectors of economy and each of these sectors
has tailored reliability and quality principles, methods, and procedures to
satisfy its specific need. Some examples of these sectors are robotics, health care,
electric power generation, Internet, textile, food, and software.
There is a definite need for reliability and quality professionals working in diverse
areas to know about each other’s work activities because this may help
them, directly or indirectly, to perform their tasks more effectively. At present to
the best of author's knowledge, there is no book that covers both applied reliability
and quality within its framework. More specifically, at present to gain knowledge
of each other’s specialties, these specialists must study various books, articles, or
reports on each of the areas in question. This approach is time consuming and
rather difficult because of the specialized nature of the material involved.
This book is an attempt to meet the need for a single volume that considers applied
areas of both reliability and quality. The material covered is treated in such
a manner that the reader needs no previous knowledge to understand it. The sources
of most of the material presented are given in the reference section at the end of each
chapter. At appropriate places, the book contains examples along with solutions, and
at the end of each chapter there are numerous problems to test reader comprehension.
This will allow the volume to be used as a text. A comprehensive list of references
on various aspects of applied reliability and quality is provided at the end of
this book, to give readers a view of the intensity of developments in the area.
This book will be useful to many people including design engineers, manufacturing
engineers, system engineers, engineering and manufacturing managers,
reliability specialists, quality specialists, graduate and senior undergraduate students
of engineering, researchers and instructors of reliability and quality, and
professionals in areas such as health care, software, electric power generation,
robotics, textile, food, and the Internet.
