Product Description
This practical and modern approach to reliability deals with core concepts, major models, and proven techniques. The computer software packaged in the Instructor's Manual allows students to focus on concepts and analysis instead of tedius numerical calculations. Relevant to all departments of engineering, particularly industrial, this text provides an introduction to probability and statistical techniques that is necessary to support the development of reliability and maintainability concepts.

Clearly Current for a Dynamic Scientific Discipline August 23, 2001

There have been many books, papers and publications written on the subject of Reliability. Since the AGREE Report, followed by C. Ryerson's work at RCA in the 50's on a pre-Mil-Hdbk 217, there have been many authors promoting and upgrading the discipline of Reliability. Most engineering and scientific textbooks have a tragic short lifespan. However,in my opinion, I believe Charles Ebeling's work is an example a more enduring and sustaining effort. Chapter 9,"Maintainability" is a good illustration that could be of value to a Maintenace Manager that shows the benefit of PM. Chapter 10,"Design for Maintainability" carries on with discussions of Reliability of Repairable system, i.e. repair or replace..... Chapter 17, "Reliability Estimation and Application" is priceless as examples to emulate. I believe that the applications are more appealing to a wider audience, i.e. Non-Aerospace industry. If there is a shortcoming, it is one that always concerns me in all the classes that I teach.It is that none of the techniques, equations, empirical methods or algorithms have any value, if the DATA has no integrity. Chapter 12,"Data Collection and Empirical Methods" is a fine chapter, perhaps it could have been first? DATA integrity is crucial. Data means drudgery, screening, checking, confirming but a vital platform for analysis to spring to decision making. My simplest example of data without integrity is the application of computer program to estimate an average, that is based on 4 data points, (1 , 2 , 3 , 5280). Is the average 1321.5? or What? I believe that this book has a future and a longer life. Good Luck Norm Jagodzinski
Excellent introduction to reliability and maintainability February 26, 1999

This is one of the best written reliability books published. It is a great handbook for the practitioner, and an even better book for the novice. It should make a great addition to any Electrical, Mechanical, or Reliability Engineer's bookshelf. If someone is preparing for ASQ's Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) Exam, this is one of the three books they should own. My only complaint is that it does not address R&M of production systems, which is where most other texts fall short.

An introduction? Not hardly, for the practioner this book is outstanding. Reliability is not alway the most simple of subject to understand. If you have a good math background and need to have reliability explained or demonstrated this book is an excellent choice. The mothods and calculation are presented in a very systematic manner that makes it easy to follow and understand. Kudos to the author!
