✦ Synopsis

To remain competitive in today’s global marketplace, all countries must manufacture reliable products and develop reliable services that yield the minimum life-cycle cost to the user. Recognizing this fact, the author draws on his extensive personal experiences as an educator, consultant, and engineer to bring this book, the first to provide an advanced methodology to achieve optimum designed-in reliability of products and components. Specific applications feature mechanical components and structural members widely used today. The implementation of this methodology will enable the engineer to design products and components with superior reliability, maintainability, safety, and value.
