商品簡介
Turning the most common analysis of Design for Reliability (DFR) processes on its head, this volume examines engineering specifications from the point of view of the consumer rather than the traditional perspective of the manufacturer. The work examines the needs of owners for technology with longevity and DFR, and weighs them against the market driven desires of producers to create products with inherent life-cycles to drive continued business. Topics discussed include the business models for both sellers and owners, reliability, availability and maintainability analysis, organizing for concurrent engineering and how to get sellers on board with owners desires. A series of appendices provide information on figuring life cycle costs and example documentation and reports. Daley is an engineer and expert on reliability and maintenance management.
