Reliability engineering can help. Its purpose is to develop methods and tools to evaluate and demonstrate reliability, maintainability, availability, and safety of components, equipment & systems, and to support development and production engineers in building in these characteristics. To build in reliability, maintainability, and safety into complex systems, failure rate and failure mode analyses must be performed early in the development phase and be supported (as far as possible) by failure mechanism analysis, design guidelines, and design reviews. Before production, qualification tests are necessary to verify that targets have been achieved. In the production phase, processes have to be qualified and monitored to assure the required quality level. For many systems,availability requirements have to be met and stochastic processes are used to investigate and optimize reliability and availability, including logistic support as well. Software often plays a dominant role, requiring specific quality assurance activities. Finally, to be cost and time effective, reliability engineering has to be coordinated with quality management (TQM) efforts, including value engineering and concurrent engineering, as appropriate. This book presents the state-of-the-art of reliability engineering in theory and practice. It is a textbook based on the author's experience of 30 years in this field.
