Practical Reliability Engineering
A key reference for reliability professionals worldwide and widely adopted as a textbook by universities across many countries. This material also aligns with the Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) curriculum set by the American Society for Quality (ASQ), making it a valuable resource for those preparing for the CRE certification. With a strong focus on practical engineering applications, the Sixth Edition of Practical Reliability Engineering continues to offer a balanced blend of reliability theory and real-world applications. This edition has been comprehensively updated to reflect the latest advancements in industry practices and state-of-the-art reliability engineering. Each chapter includes practical examples, and course instructors have access to a Solutions Manual and PowerPoint slides for training support available from the author at kleyner.consulting@sbcglobal.net. The sixth edition introduces several significant updates. Every chapter has been refreshed with new material, and two new chapters -- Repairable Systems and Human Reliability -- have been added. This edition also covers emerging topics in reliability engineering, such as prognostics and health management (PHM), Agile hardware development, the reliability challenges posed by the ongoing miniaturization of integrated circuits, and many more, ensuring that the content remains relevant to modern technological developments. Written by two highly qualified reliability professionals, each with decades of experience, this book covers nearly every aspect of reliability science and practice, making it a comprehensive reference guide. Practical Reliability Engineering has, over the years, helped to train multiple generations of reliability engineers and continues to be an essential resource for both emerging professionals and seasoned experts alike.

Digitization and Manufacturing Performance
The book provides valuable insights into how modern production strategies can enhance quality, efficiency, and environmental sustainability, ultimately driving profit and competitive advantage in today's high-tech industry. Today, production strategies are influenced by quality, cost, delivery, innovation, and responsiveness. Firms have traditionally pursued these goals through the adoption of production practices, such as simultaneous engineering, increasing efficiency through the elimination of defects, setup reduction, and worker empowerment. However, recent developments in industry suggest that industry regulators and professional bodies must encourage innovation in a broad range of high-tech production facilities with the environment in mind. The success of the industry depends on production facilities and the competitive advantage that the industry gains due to better quality and reliability. This advantage leads to an increase in sales and the creation of a sound customer base for greater market share, which eventually leads to more profit, growth, and expansion. A firm's processes must possess operating advantages in the form of competitive priorities to outperform its competitors, keeping in mind its influence on the environment. Digitization and Manufacturing Performance: An Environmental Perspective presents the expectations of industrialists, policymakers, and academics by evaluating the impact of production facilities. Readers will find the book: * Discusses emerging technologies and their role in environmental aspects in detail; * Provides a comprehensive overview of the latest existing and emerging technologies and their environmental aspects; * Justifies social, economic, and technical considerations of these technologies; * Explores the relationship between advanced technologies and the environment through in-depth studies. Audience Researchers, scholars, faculty, professionals in research and development, and industrialists in the industrial, production, mechanical, and electronics sectors. [320 Pages, Hardcover]
