Enhancing Life Cycle Reliability with Robust Engineering and Predictive Health Management (Quality and Reliability Engineering Series)

Complete process for ensuring product performance through robust concept design, robust optimization, selection, and verification in an uncontrollable user environment Life Cycle Reliability through Robustness Development, and Prognostic and Health Management enables readers to build a robustness-thinking-based approach for robust design for reliability and prognostic health management (PHM), explaining best practices from early product design through the entire product lifecycle, leading to lower costs and shorter development cycles.The text integrates key tools and emerging reliability management systems into a comprehensive program for developing more robust and reliable technology-based products.The text provides value-added strategies for robustness development in new products and health management with three main types of robustness development and reliability growth case studies: intrinsic, instrumental, and collective.Readers can harness multiple forms of engineering knowledge
