None of the few Design for Reliability (DFR) books currently available addresses the process from the owner's (or buyer's) perspective. Instead, they approach DFR strictly from the seller's (or manufacturer's) viewpoint. As a result, few assets are designed and developed with the intent to meet the future owner's specific needs for reliability, availability, and maintainability over the life of the asset. In this groundbreaking new book, Dan Daley intends to correct the imbalance in how DFR is often implemented by providing owners with the tools they need to ensure that their requirements - not the seller's - are followed in developing new assets. This book will be an invaluable guide to everyone involved in the design, development, or purchase of new assets. It will help owners take the necessary steps to get what they really need, and it will help sellers "deliver the goods" that their customers - the owners - actually want. Explains how to properly integrate DFR activities with conventional design activities. Provides a simple system to ensure DFR activities are completed on time. Provides spreadsheets and forms needed to portray design results in a clear and usable format. Includes the tables and forms needed to support the design processes and procedures presented in each chapter. Includes appendices that provide an example specification that owners can modify when procuring a new asset and example tables useful in assessing how well the DFR process has met the owner's needs.

Provides the reader with a concise yet informative description of all the various forms of maintenance. Highlights the important elements of each of the various forms of maintenance and how to go about organizing those elements in his plant or facility. Offers the reader with the tools needed to integrate initiatives leading to improved reliability with each kind of maintenance. Provides the reader with tools needed to enhance effectiveness and efficiency in each kind of maintenance. Gives both new and more experienced plant and shop personnel with a tool they can use to develop a consistent understanding of maintenance excellence so they can identify common goals and consistent objectives. Includes forms and formats that can be used for the following: Job Delay Survey, Accountability-Responsibility Matrix, Role Description, Project Control Document, and Work Scoping Form. This book provides an introduction to the concept of "excellence" in the several forms of maintenance used during the life of any system or facility. Unlike most books that tend to focus on just one of the areas of maintenance, this book looks at all the distinct forms of maintenance including: Routine Maintenance, Turnaround Maintenance, Program Maintenance, Project (Maintenance) Management, Reliability in Maintenance, Predictive and Preventive Maintenance, and Precision Maintenance. Rather than simply focusing on "how to get the work done", this concise resource focuses on Maintenance Excellence and meeting its objectives more effectively and more efficiently. Uniquely designed for busy people who want and need to learn more about maintenance excellence but have a limited amount of time to do so, each chapter is designed to provide a stand-alone learning opportunity for individuals who have an opportunity to pick the book up over lunch or whenever the opportunity arises. Additionally, it emphasizes the part that effective and efficient maintenance plays in achieving good reliability so it provides an excellent companion for The Little Black Book of Reliability Management which was designed to be used in the same manner. This set of books is intended to provide the young professionals working in this area with a quick introduction to all the subjects they will need to learn. It is also intended for more senior managers and executives who are not experts in either maintenance or reliability, but need to be conversant with its elements.
