They highlight the importance of the QRM disciplines and represent the latest developments, trends and progress, and are essential reference material for all reasearch academics, quality planners, maintenance executives and personnel who have the responsibility to implement the findings of quality audits and maintenance policy. "Quality, Reliabilty, and Maintenance" - be it in industry, commerce, education, or academia - influences and guides every contemporary aspect of our lives. This collection of papers includes topics such as: Quality Analysis; Condition Monitoring; Maintenance Management; Computer Applications; Education and Training; and, Research Applications.

"Quality, Reliability, and Maintenance 2002" brings together a collection of international papers that provides examples of current research, practice, and implementation in industry, education, training, and the medical profession in the present and future.The book draws together a wide spectrum of diverse expertise and experience. Practising engineers are challenged with the formidable task of simultaneously improving quality control, raising levels of reliability and reducing the costs and down time due to maintenance.

The essentials of quality, reliability, and maintenance are included and will be of great interest to all those concerned with condition monitoring, maintenance management, modelling and design. "Quality, Reliability, and Maintenance" "2002" will be of valuble assistance to the engineering community.
