A unique, design-based approach to reliability
engineering

Design for Reliability provides engineers and managers
with a range of tools and techniques for incorporating reliability
into the design process for complex systems. It clearly explains
how to design for zero failure of critical system functions,
leading to enormous savings in product life-cycle costs and a
dramatic improvement in the ability to compete in global
markets.

Readers will find a wealth of design practices not covered in
typical engineering books, allowing them to think outside the box
when developing reliability requirements. They will learn to
address high failure rates associated with systems that are not
properly designed for reliability, avoiding expensive and
time-consuming engineering changes, such as excessive testing,
repairs, maintenance, inspection, and logistics.

Special features of this book include:

* A unified approach that integrates ideas from computer science
and reliability engineering

* Techniques applicable to reliability as well as safety,
maintainability, system integration, and logistic engineering

* Chapters on design for extreme environments, developing
reliable software, design for trustworthiness, and HALT influence
on design

Design for Reliability is a must-have guide for engineers
and managers in R&D, product development, reliability
engineering, product safety, and quality assurance, as well as
anyone who needs to deliver high product performance at a lower
cost while minimizing system failure.
