This unique book for quality and reliability engineers, manufacturing process engineers, environmental test engineers and design engineers describes the practical processes necessary to achieve failure-free equipment performance and studies the essential requirements for successful product life-cycle management.
A unique book that describes the practical processes necessary to achieve failure free equipment performance, for quality and reliability engineers, design, manufacturing process and environmental test engineers. This book studies the essential requirements for successful product life cycle management. It identifies key contributors to failure in product life cycle management and particular emphasis is placed upon the importance of thorough Manufacturing Process Capability reviews for both in-house and outsourced manufacturing strategies. The readers? attention is also drawn to the many hazards to which a new product is exposed from the commencement of manufacture through to end of life disposal.



Revolutionary in focus, as it describes how to achieve failure free performance rather than how to predict an acceptable performance failure rate (reliability technology rather than reliability engineering)
Author has over 40 years experience in the field, and the text is based on classroom tested notes from the reliability technology course he taught at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA 
Contains graphical interpretations of mathematical models together with diagrams, tables of physical constants, case studies and unique worked examples 

Mr. Norman Pascoe, MIT Consultant (retired), UK The author has worked for forty three years in the fields of Environmental Testing , Quality and Reliability and Environmental Stress Screening. Since 1996 he has worked as a Reliability Technology consultant to some leading telecommunications and aerospace industries. Before becoming a consultant Norman served for five years as European Product Assurance adviser to Nortel Networks Limited. Mr Pascoe has presented papers at seminars and conferences in North America, the UK and other European countries. He became a member of the Society of Environmental Engineers in December 1987 and was elected a Fellow of the Society of Environmental Engineers in April 1998.
