Global competition and other factors are forcing manufacturers to produce highly safe engineering systems and products. This book meets the needs for product designers, systems engineers, and safety engineers that work together and need a single resource which considers all three areas when designing new products and systems.

Industry recognizes the importance of system and product reliability and places ever increasing emphasis on it during the design phase. Therefore, it is extremely important for designers and engineers to have a solid grounding in reliability engineering and keep abreast of developments and research results. Design Reliability: Fundamentals and Appl

Engineering Maintenance: A Modern Approach presents a cradle-to-grave strategy to preserve equipment function, avoid the consequences of failures, and ensure the productive capacity of equipment. The author has gathered and integrated the latest advances in engineering maintenance to formulate practical, step-by-step plans.

Each year a vast sum of money is spent on health care around the globe and patient safety has become a serious global public health issue. Filled with up-to-date information, this book demonstrates how to handle patient safety-related problems by using methods developed in the area of engineering. It contains a chapter on mathematical concepts and another chapter on introductory material on safety and human factors considered essential to understand materials presented in subsequent chapters. The author¿s presentation covers topics in such a manner that readers will require no previous knowledge to understand the concepts.

Offers the design engineer with information on the important methods that have emerged for the design of structures, products, and components. This book presents information and ideas for improving the design engineering process in terms of quality, reliability, cost control and timeliness.

Industry recognizes the importance of system and product reliability and places emphasis on it during the design phase. This book provides the background professionals need to incorporate reliability concepts, tools, and techniques into their system planning and designs.

Presents a cradle-to-grave strategy to preserve equipment function, avoid the consequences of failures, and ensure the productive capacity of equipment. Moving well beyond traditional approaches, this strategy incorporates quality and safety, human error, and software maintenance considerations along with costing, reliability, and maintainability.

Cradle-to-grave analyses are becoming the norm, as an increasing amount of corporations and government agencies are basing their procurement decisions not only on initial costs but also on life cycle costs. This book deals with life cycle costing concepts and explains their application in various industrial sectors.
