Since the publication of the first edition of Integrated Product
and Process Design and Development: The Product Realization Process
more than a decade ago, the product realization process has
undergone a number of significant changes. Reflecting these
advances, this second edition presents a thorough treatment of the
modern tools used in the integrated product realization process and
places the product realization process in its new context. See

manufacturing methods: in-mold assembly and layered manufacturing
This book discusses how to translate customer needs into product
requirements and specifications. It then provides methods to
determine a product's total costs, including cost of ownership, and
covers how to generate and evaluate product concepts. The authors
examine methods for turning product concepts into actual products
by considering development steps such as materials and
manufacturing processes selection, assembly methods, environmental
aspects, reliability, and aesthetics, to name a few. They also
introduce the design of experiments and the six sigma philosophy as
means of attaining quality. To be globally viable, corporations
need to produce innovative, visually appealing, quality products
within shorter development times. Filled with checklists,
guidelines, strategies, and examples, this book provides proven
methods for creating competitively priced quality products.
Authors have attempted to create coherent chapters and sections on
how the fundamentals of maintenance cost should be organized, to
present them in a logical and sequential order. Necessarily, the
text starts with importance of maintenance function in the
organization and moves to life cycle cost (LCC) considerations
followed by the budgeting constraints. In the process, they have
intentionally postponed the discussion about intangible costs and
downtime costs later on in the book mainly due to the controversial
part of it when arguing with managers. The book will be concluding
with a short description of a number of sectors where maintenance
cost is of critical importance. The goal is to train the readers
for a deeper study and understanding of these elements for decision
making in maintenance, more specifically in the context of asset
management. This book is intended for managers, engineers,
researchers, and practitioners, directly or indirectly involved in
the area of maintenance. The book is focused to contribute towards
better understanding of maintenance cost and use of this knowledge
to improve the maintenance process. Key Features: * Emphasis on
maintenance cost and life cycle cost especially under uncertainty.
* Systematic approach of how cost models can be applied and used in
the maintenance field. * Compiles and reviews existing maintenance
cost models. * Consequential and direct costs considered. *
Comparison of maintenance costs in different sectors,
infrastructure, manufacturing, transport.

This book discusses relevant topics in field of corrosion, from
sensing strategies to modeling of control processes, corrosion
prevention, detection of corrosion initiation, prediction of
corrosion growth and evolution, to maintenance practices and return
on investment.Written by leading international experts, it combines
mathematical and scientific rigor with multiple case studies,
examples, colorful images, case studies and numerous references
exploring the essentials of corrosion in depth. It appeals to a
wide readership, including corrosion engineers, managers, students
and industrial and government staff, and can serve as a reference
text for courses in materials, mechanical and aerospace
engineering, as well as anyone working on corrosion processes.

Understanding the cost ramifications of design, manufacturing and
life-cycle management decisions is of central importance to
businesses associated with all types of electronic systems. Cost
Analysis of Electronic Systems contains carefully developed models
and theory that practicing engineers can directly apply to the
modeling of costs for real products and systems. In addition, this
book brings to light and models many contributions to life-cycle
costs that practitioners are aware of but never had the tools or
techniques to address quantitatively in the past.Cost Analysis of
Electronic Systems melds elements of traditional engineering
economics with manufacturing process and life-cycle cost management
concepts to form a practical foundation for predicting the cost of
electronic products and systems. Various manufacturing cost
analysis methods are addressed including: process-flow, parametric,
cost of ownership, and activity-based costing. The effects of
learning curves, data uncertainty, test and rework processes, and
defects are considered. Aspects of system sustainment and
life-cycle cost modeling including reliability (warranty, burn-in),
maintenance (sparing and availability), and obsolescence are
treated. Finally, total cost of ownership of systems and return on
investment are addressed.Real life design scenarios from integrated
circuit fabrication, electronic systems assembly, substrate
fabrication, and electronic systems managementare used as examples
of the application of the cost estimation methods developed within
the book.
'Sustainment' (as commonly defined by industry and government), is
comprised of maintenance, support, and upgrade practices that
sustain or improve the performance of a system and maximize the
availability of goods and services while minimizing their cost and
footprint or, more simply, the capacity of a system to endure.
Sustainment is a multi-trillion-dollar enterprise for critical
systems, in both government (infrastructure and defense) and
industry (transportation, industrial controls, data centers, and
energy generation).This book is a mix of engineering, operations
research, and policy sciences intended to provide students with a
thorough understanding of the concept of sustainability and
sustainable product life-cycles, and an appreciation of the
importance of sustaining critical systems. It starts from the key
attributes for system sustainment that includes data analytics,
engineering analysis and the public policy needed to support the
development of technologies, processes, and frameworks required for
the management of sustainable processes and practices. The specific
topics covered include: acquisition of critical systems,
reliability, maintenance, availability, readiness, inventory
management, supply-chain management and risks, contracting for
sustainment, and various analysis methodologies (discounted cash
flow analysis, discrete-event simulation and Monte Carlo methods).
Practice problems are included at the end of each chapter.
This book provides an introduction to the cost modeling for
electronic systems that is suitable for advanced undergraduate and
graduate students in electrical, mechanical and industrial
engineering, and professionals involved with electronics technology
development and management. This book melds elements of traditional
engineering economics with manufacturing process and life-cycle
cost management concepts to form a practical foundation for
predicting the cost of electronic products and systems. Various
manufacturing cost analysis methods are addressed including:
process-flow, parametric, cost of ownership, and activity based
costing. The effects of learning curves, data uncertainty, test and
rework processes, and defects are considered. Aspects of system
sustainment and life-cycle cost modeling including reliability
(warranty, burn-in), maintenance (sparing and availability), and
obsolescence are treated. Finally, total cost of ownership of
systems, return on investment, cost-benefit analysis, and real
options analysis are addressed.
