Reliability Engineering: A Life Cycle Approach

Updated throughout for the second edition, Reliability Engineering: A Life Cycle Approach draws on the author's global industry experience to demonstrate the invaluable role reliability engineers play in the entire life-cycle of a plant.
Applicable to both high cost, cutting-edge plants and to plants operating under serious budget constraints, the textbook uses a practical approach to cover the theory of reliability engineering, alongside the design, operation and maintenance required in a plant. Updating the book to meet modern standardization of maintenance practice, most notably in the ISO 55000 standards, which cover management of assets, it provides practical advice on maintenance management, and is relevant to older plants and new plants. It also covers linear programming, failure analysis, financial management and analysis and refers to case studies throughout.
This textbook will be of interest to students and engineers in the field of reliability engineering, mechanical, manufacturing and industrial engineering. It will also be relevant to automotive and aerospace engineers.
