Synopsis

Increased competition from Japan and other countries in manufacturing of high-tech/high-quality products makes it essential for American business to look at reliability engineering in the power, petroleum, process, chemical, and manufacturing industries. The focus of this self-contained practical study book is how to apply reliability engineering to increase productivity and ensure safety. It covers the theory, mathematical formulations, and practical aspects of implementation of reliability engineering, as well as important economic considerations. Particular emphasis is given to management of the reliability engineering function. Important components and systems of reliability analysis and testing are thoroughly explored through over 70 worked-out examples. Also discussed are strategies for reducing hardware and operating costs while improviing safety in industrial facilities.
