Reviews for The Process of Reliability Engineering: Creating Reliability Plans That Add Value

"A great resource for those wanting their organization to implement or improve product reliability. It contains many hard earned nuggets of wisdom learned from years of practicing reliability embedment and execution in projects. (Daniel C. Conrad, Ph.D. Director Design Quality, Reliability, & Testing, Hussmann) ""Every engineer and manager should own this book"" This book provides a detailed road map to develop and execute a reliability plan that requires a blend of organizational capabilities and behaviors. It focuses on reliability decision making while emphasizing reliability goals cannot be achieved without influencing the culture. The example scenarios blended throughout the book reflect the various program priorities and constraints that must be balanced within the reliability plan. This book is suitable for engineers and managers at all levels in the organization. The authors combined their years of experience and knowledge to create a 6 Step process to guide organizations through the process of developing a reliability plan. They provide specific elements and questions for each of the 6 steps. I like how they referenced sections of various industry standards to highlight specific points they make throughout the book. My favorite quote from this book is ""Reliability occurs at the point of decision"". Every engineer and manager should own this book. (Bill Haughey, Vice President, ReliaTrain)"
