The demands of the global economy require manufacturers to produce
highly reliable and easily maintainable engineering products.
Recent studies indicate that for many large and sophisticated
products or systems, maintenance, and support account for as much
as 60 to 75 percent of their life cycle costs. Therefore, the role
of maintainability, maintenance, and reliability has become
increasingly significant. Satisfying the pressing need for a volume
that addresses these subjects with an interdiscilinary approach,
Maintainability, Maintenance, and Reliability for Engineers
distills knowledge specific to each discipline into one
comprehensive resource. After reviewing the history of all three
fields and their interrelationships, the book covers mathematical
concepts such as Boolean algebra laws, probability properties,
mathematical definitions, and probability distributions. It
includes reliability evaluation methods such as fault tree
analysis, network reduction method, delta-method, Markov method,
supplementary variables method, and reliabitity management, both
mechanical and human. Highlihting maintainibility tools and
functions, the author discusses topics in maintainibility
management and costing including tasks during product life cycle,
program plan, organization functions, design reviews, life cycle
costing, investment cost elements, and life cycle cost estimation
models. The author also includes coverage of maintenance
engineering, focusing on safety, quality, corrective, and
preventive maintenance. The book concludes with coverage of
maintenance management costing and human errror in engineering
maintenance and contains 60 illustrations, 16 tables, and more than
200 equations. There is a definite need to considermaintainibility,
maintenance, and reliability during product/system design and other
phases. To achieve this goal effectively, it is absoulutely
imperative to have a certain degree of understanding of each of
these disciplines. Although m
