Today, engineering systems are an important element of the world economy and each year billions of dollars are spent to develop, manufacture, operate, and maintain various types of engineering systems around the globe. Many of these systems are highly sophisticated and contain millions of parts. For example, a Boeing jumbo 747 is made up of approximately 4.5 million parts including fasteners. Needless to say, reliability, safety, and maintenance of systems such as this have become more important than ever before. Global competition and other factors are forcing manufacturers to produce highly reliable, safe, and maintainable engineering products. Therefore, there is a definite need for the reliability, safety, and maintenance professionals to work closely during design and other phases.

Engineering Systems Reliability, Safety, and Maintenance: An Integrated Approach eliminates the need to consult many different and diverse sources in the hunt for the information required to design better engineering systems.

Reviews for Engineering Systems Reliability, Safety, and Maintenance: An Integrated Approach

The unique strength of this book is an integrated approach covering the fields of Reliability, Safety and Maintenance with all the foundational materials, methods and detailed applications with step by step approach to leverage. The author is an International Authority in the fields Reliability, Safety and Maintenance Engineering. The primary strength of this book is the integrated approach covering the fields of Reliability, Safety and Maintenance Engineering fields. The book covers some of the most relevant applications of 21st Century such as Internet, Robotics, Software, Mining, Medical, Aerospace, Navy and various real life Transportation Systems. The author has simplified the most difficult & complex concepts and methods into simple, easy to use, step-by-step approach. This is a major differentiation for the book. This book will be extremely useful to not only senior Under Graduate Students but also useful to Graduate students, Researchers and various Engineering Professionals. - Subramanyam Naidu Rayapati, Agile CloudTech, LLC., USA Reliability, safety and maintenance are the key issues in contemporary systems as they become more and more complex. Following a general overview of the significance of these issues, this book presents a systematic survey of fundamental concepts assuring the above mentioned system features. This book is unique due to combining reliability, safety and maintenance issues in one volume, moreover the presented considerations refer to systems and practical problems from different domains; e.g. robot, transportation, aviation, medicine and other industries. - Janusz Sosnowski, Institute of Computer Science, Warsaw University of Technology, Poland The unique strength of this book is an integrated approach covering the fields of Reliability, Safety and Maintenance with all the foundational materials, methods and detailed applications with step by step approach to leverage.
