• Sommario/riassunto: Using the authors' extensive experience in both industry and academia, this book presents an integrated approach for design, engineering and management of the reliability activities throughout the life cycle of a product which includes concept, research and development, design, manufacturing, assembly, sales and service. The coverage explains how to integrate reliability methods and techniques in the Six Sigma Process and Design for Six Sigma. It also discusses relationships between warranty and reliability, as well as legal and liability issues. This useful guide teaches readers how to effect
