How Reliable Is Your Product? (Second Edition) by Mike Silverman,Adam Bahret Pdf

Traditionally, the way to test a product's reliability was to build it--and then try to break it. As systems and technologies improved, TAAF (Test, Analyze, and Fix) methodologies were developed and adopted. In today's global economy with its short, technologically-intense product life cycles, TAAF cannot suffice. Reliability can no longer be a step or a series of steps in product development; it is something that needs to be acknowledged upfront and built into the product from its very conception. Reliability, in other words, must be "designed in." Product developers now have many tools--software and hardware--at their disposal for building reliability in from the get-go. From the organizational point of view, what better way to design in reliability than to make designers themselves responsible for the reliability of their designs? As Mike Silverman and Adam Bahret explain in "How Reliable Is Your Product?," this is why the role of the reliability engineer is changing to one of mentor. Product developers are now responsible for going out and finding the best testing tools and then training the designers on their use, so designers can factor and build in reliability at every stage of product design. Mike and Adam have focused on reliability throughout their career and have observed how the position of reliability in the organization evolved. In this book, they condense their expertise and experience into a volume of immense practical worth to the engineering and engineering management communities, including designers, manufacturing engineers, and reliability/quality engineers. Among other things, Mike and Adam discuss how reliability fits, or should fit, within the product design cycle. They provide a high-level overview of reliability techniques available to engineers today. They lucidly describe the design of experiments and the role of failure management. With case studies and narratives from personal experience, they offer optimal ways to utilize different reliability techniques. They highlight common errors of judgment, missteps, and sub-optimal decisions that are often made within organizations on the path to total reliability. With"How Reliable is Your Product? (2nd Edition)," Mike Silverman and Adam Bahret have delivered what few have done before: a comprehensive yet succinct overview of the field of reliability engineering and testing. Engineers and engineering managers will find much in this book of immediate practical value.

Product Reliability, Maintainability, and Supportability Handbook, Second Edition by Michael Pecht Pdf

To ensure product reliability, an organization must follow specific practices during the product development process that impact reliability. The second edition of the bestselling Product Reliability, Maintainability, and Supportability Handbook helps professionals identify the shortcomings in the reliability practices of their organizations and empowers them to take actions to overcome them. The book begins by discussing product effectiveness and its related functions, presents the mathematical theory for reliability, and introduces statistical inference concepts as ways to analyze probabilistic models from observational data. Later chapters introduce basic types of probability distributions; present the concepts of confidence interval; focus on reliability assessment; and examine software reliability, quality, and safety. Use FMMEA to identify failure mechanisms Reflecting the latest developments in the field, the book introduces a new methodology known as failure modes, mechanisms, and effects analysis (FMMEA) to identify potential failure mechanisms. Shifting to a practical stance, the book delineates steps that must be taken to develop a product that meets reliability objectives. It describes how to combine reliability information from parts and subsystems to compute system level reliability, presents methods for evaluating reliability in fault-tolerant conditions, and describes methods for modeling and analyzing failures of repairable products. The text discusses reliability growth, accelerated testing, and management of a continuous improvement program; analyzes the influence of reliability on logistics support requirements; shows how to assess overall product effectiveness; and introduces the concepts of process capability and statistical process control techniques. New Topics in the Second Edition Include: Failure Modes, Mechanisms, and Effects Analysis Confidence Interval on Reliability Metrics and their Relationships with Measures of Product Quality Process Control and Process Capability and their Relationship with Product Reliability System Reliability, including Redundancy
