An introduction to reliability and maintainability engineering

This text provides the fundamental concepts, models and analysis techniques necessary to perform reliability and maintainability engineering. Assuming formal education in probability and statistics, it presents a broad coverage of the field and includes analysis of fail and repair data. This practical and modern approach to reliability deals with core concepts, major models, and proven techniques. The computer software packaged in the Instructor's Manual allows students to focus on concepts and analysis instead of tedius numerical calculations. Relevant to all departments of engineering, particularly industrial, this text provides an introduction to probability and statistical techniques that is necessary to support the development of reliability and maintainability concepts. This book is about basic reliability models,data collection and empirical methods, reliability testing, reliability growth testing. Identifying failure and repair distributions will help all beginers who want to learn about Reliability and Maintainability Engineering.
