✦ Synopsis

design, component quality, and manufacturing. Its design requirements come from preliminary analysis before any hardware or software is acquired. Maintainability Analysis: Minimizes downtime, reduces repair time, and, as a result, reduces maintenance costs. Some of the inputs for maintainability come from reliability analysis. System Safety Engineering and Management: Enables the identification, elimination, and control of safety-related risks throughout the life cycle of the product, process, or system; thereby providing a safe product, process, or system. Quality Assurance Engineering: Incorporates customer satisfaction requirements in design and assures that specifications have been met and mitigates risks associated with manufacturing errors or defects. Human Factors Engineering: Recognizes the role of humans in product, process,

or system and provides effective integration. It helps designers prevent human-induced mishaps by making designs insensitive to human errors of use. It also mitigates risks to humans that interface with the product, process, or system. Logistics Engineering: Reduces ongoing field support costs, most of which result from poor quality, reliability, maintainability, and safety. A design analysis at the outset helps avoid much of this unnecessary waste of resources.
