Books by Tongdan Jin

Offers a holistic approach to guiding product design, manufacturing, and afterΓÇôsales support as the manufacturing industry transitions from a productΓÇôoriented model to serviceΓÇôoriented paradigm  This book provides fundamental knowledge and best industry practices in reliability modelling, maintenance optimization, and service parts logistics planning. It aims to develop an integrated productΓÇôservice system (IPSS) synthesizing design for reliability, performanceΓÇôbased maintenance, and spare parts inventory. It also presents a lifecycle reliabilityΓÇôinventory optimization framework where reliability, redundancy, maintenance, and service parts are jointly coordinated. Additionally, the book aims to report the latest advances in reliability growth planning, maintenance contracting and spares inventory logistics under nonΓÇôstationary demand condition. Reliability Engineering and Service provides inΓÇôdepth chapter coverage of topics such as: Reliability Concepts and Models; Mean and Variance of Reliability Estimates; Design for Reliability; Reliability Growth Planning; Accelerated Life Testing and Its Economics; Renewal Theory and Superimposed Renewals; Maintenance and PerformanceΓÇôBased Logistics; Warranty Service Models; Basic Spare Parts Inventory Models; Repairable Inventory Systems; Integrated ProductΓÇôService Systems (IPPS), and Resilience Modeling and Planning Guides engineers to design reliable products at a low cost Assists service engineers in providing superior afterΓÇôsales support Enables managers to respond to the changing market and customer needs Uses endΓÇôofΓÇôchapter case studies to illustrate industry best practice Lifecycle approach to reliability, maintenance and spares provisioning Reliability Engineering and Service is an important book for graduate engineering students, researchers, and industryΓÇôbased reliability practitioners and consultants.
