Daley Design for Reliability Back to Design Back to Engineering Back to Maintenance 238 pages, Published: February, 2011 ISBN 9780831134372 Author Blog Author Website Overview None of the few Design for Reliability (DFR) books currently available addresses the process from the owner's (or buyer's) perspective. Instead, they approach DFR strictly from the seller's (or manufacturer's) viewpoint. As a result, few assets are designed and developed with the intent to meet the future owner's specific needs for reliability, availability, and maintainability over the life of the asset. In this groundbreaking new book, Dan Daley corrects the imbalance in how DFR is often implemented by providing owners with the tools they need to ensure that their requirements - not the seller's - are followed in developing new assets. This book will be useful to everyone involved in the design, development, or purchase of new assets. It will help owners take the necessary steps to get what they need, and it will help sellers deliver the goodsA" that their customers - the owners - actually want. Features * Explains how to properly integrate DFR activities with conventional design activities. * Provides a simple system to ensure DFR activities are completed on time. * Provides spreadsheets and forms needed to portray design results in a clear and usable format. * Includes the tables and forms needed to perform the design elements presented in each chapter. * Includes appendices that provide an example specification that owners can modify when procuring a new asset and example tables useful in assessing how well the DFR process has met the owner's needs.
