Applied Reliability and Quality: Fundamentals, Methods and Procedures meets the need for a single volume that considers applied areas of both reliability and quality. Before now, there has not been one book that covers both applied reliability and quality. So to gain knowledge of each other's specialties, these people had to study various books, articles, or reports on each area. As the first book of its kind, this book will be useful to design engineers, manufacturing engineers, system engineers, engineering and manufacturing managers, reliability specialists, quality specialists, graduate and senior undergraduate students of engineering, researchers and instructors of reliability and quality. It will also benefit professionals in areas such as health care, software, power generation, robotics, textile, food, and the Internet.

First book to treat reliability and quality simultaneously Written by an experienced author on the subject Contains problems at the end of each chapter to test reader comprehension Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
