Product reliability: specification and performance

Currently, reliability issues are not addressed effectively in new product development. Product reliability depends on the technical decisions made in the early stages and the impact of commercial outcomes in the latter stages. With an effective methodology for reliability performance and specification, one can make better decisions. Product Reliability develops a framework linking reliability specifications and product performance in new product development by: (1) considering how customer needs and business aims can be translated into product development so that desired performance is met/exceeded; (2) discussing the data requirements, tools and techniques needed to build models vital to decision-making; (3) providing an approach applicable to many products. This book is suitable for managers and engineers involved in new product design. It can be used as a text for graduate courses on design, manufacturing, new productdevelopment and operations management and in various engineering disciplines.Provides a much-needed systematic treatment of product reliability specifications and performance Provides a framework which links reliability specifications and product performance in the context of new product development Problems and examples can be found at the end of each chapter INDICE: An Overview.- New Product Development.- Product Performance and Specification.- An Introduction to Reliability Theory.- Performance and Specification in the Front-end Phase.- Performance and Specification during Design.- Performance during Development.- Product Performance and Production.- Post-salePerformance.- Product Safety Requirements.- Reliability Management System.
