Practical Reliability Engineering, 5th Edition

This book was as syllabus requirement and we actually used this book a lot during the semester. The content is perfect for those who are involved with reliability engineering and Six Sigma practices. It gives the reader simple explanations of reliability and a great overview of the various forms of engineering. I had no clue what a Weibull distribution was until I began my studies with this book. This book describes the basics which helped me walk out of my class with an A- for a subject that I was unfamiliar with until I started studying the subject. If you do not get any other use out of this book as I did in class for my course, please use it as a reference.

Great overview on the topic with lots of references in case you want or need to dig deeper.

This book was exactly geared to my needs as a young engineer embarking on a career in reliability. The content was concise, clear while providing extensive breadth into the complex and most often misunderstood engineering discipline. This is a must read for all engineers! My only gripe is that I have struggled to obtain the solutions manual which accompanies this book (the web link reference quoted in the book failed to deliver !

It’s a great intro to the field and does actually focus on being practical, unlike so many of the other texts that claim to be.

This book is an excellent desk reference for any engineer involved in reliability or testing of products. The math is intense, but I read it through at a high level and intend to go back and work some of the questions. As a new engineer, if this was not part of your college coursework, get this book. It will help you determine what test quantities and test durations are needed to prove reliability and confidence.

Easy to read and follow along. Technical subjects aren’t always the easiest on the eyes, but this book gets to the point without a lot of filler texts. Made my reliability course much simpler.

The book arrived in disgusting condition. Old food stuck on the front cover and pages sticking together. Paid $73.99 for this book!

The book covers many areas of reliability in a rushed way. The book does not teach any subject thoroughly but mentions it enough where you might get an idea of what the subject is about. The section on markov-models and Monte-carlo simulations was good.

Reliability mathematics - among all the stuff I have read around this topic, this text tops in explaining and applying to practical examples. For the first time for me, I was able to understand and relate various models to everyday equipment reliability issues ... In my opinion, this text is a must have desktop reference for reliability theoreticians, field engineers, and strategy consultants.

Great book as a skill development resource as well as learning and understanding of Reliability principles and concepts.

Good book.

Easy to read. Broad coverage. Clearly shows doors you need to open next to go deeper in particular topic(s).

Claro y muy completo
