Reliability Engineering

By Harald Zieger

A practical, plant-floor guide to reliability engineering for students and working engineers. Written by an engineer with more than 40 years in electrical, maintenance, and reliability engineering, this textbook explains how reliability is designed into machines and systems and how it is kept there in daily operation.

The book covers reliability fundamentals and failure statistics, FMEA and DFMEA, reliability-centered maintenance, condition-based maintenance and the P-F interval, spare-parts management, testing, and how to build a realistic maturity roadmap toward modern data-driven methods. Each topic links theory to the decisions maintenance and reliability engineers make every day. The book also draws on lessons from the slide-rule era, from shipboard checklists to rigorous testing, that remain the foundation of good engineering.

Ideal for university courses in maintenance and reliability engineering, and as a reference for plant engineers, maintenance managers, and anyone responsible for keeping critical equipment running.
