Currently, reliability issues are not addressed effectively in the development of new products, especially in the early stages of this process. Product reliability depends both on the technical decisions made in these early stages and also on the impact of commercial outcomes in the latter stages. By using an effective methodology for reliability performance and specification, one can make better decisions.

Product Reliability develops a framework which links reliability specifications and product performance in the context of new product development. In order to address the product performance necessary to achieve the accomplishment of business objectives, this book:

• considers how customer needs and business objectives can be translated into product development so that desired performance is matched or exceeded in reality;

• discusses the data requirements and the tools and techniques needed to build the models which play an important role in the decision-making process;

• provides a structured approach that is applicable to many kinds of products.

As an overview of reliability performance and specification in new product development, Product Reliability is suitable for managers responsible for new product development. The methodology for making decisions relating to reliability performance and specification will be of use to engineers involved in product design and development. This book can be used as a text for graduate courses on design, manufacturing, new product development and operations management and in various engineering disciplines.

259. lappuse - A condition or capability that must be met or possessed by a system or system component to satisfy a contract, standard, specification, or other formally imposed document; (3) A documented representation of a condition or capability as in (1) or (2).
103. lappuse - The purpose of a warranty is to establish liability of the manufacturer in the event that an item fails or is unable to perform its intended function when properly used. The contract specifies both the performance that is to be expected and the redress available to the buyer if a failure occurs or the performance is unsatisfactory. The warranty is intended to assure the buyer that the product will perform its intended function under normal conditions of use for a specified period of time.
259. lappuse - The combination of all technical and associated administrative actions intended to retain an item in, or restore it to, a state in which it can perform its required function.
39. lappuse - Bernadin et al (1995) are concerned that 'performance should be defined as the outcomes of work because they provide the strongest linkage to the strategic goals of the organization, customer satisfaction, and economic contributions'. The Oxford English Dictionary defines performance as 'the accomplishment, execution, carrying out, working out of anything ordered or undertaken'.
15. lappuse - A product can be tangible (eg assemblies or processed materials) or intangible (eg knowledge or concepts), or a combination thereof. Note 3 A product can be either intended (eg offering to customers) or unintended (eg pollutant or unwanted effects...
259. lappuse - The ability of an item under stated conditions of use, to be retained in, or restored to, a state in which it can perform a required function, when maintenance is performed under given conditions and using stated procedures and resources.
259. lappuse - Redundancy The existence of more than one means for accomplishing a given function. Each means of accomplishing the function need not necessarily be identical.
78. lappuse - FMEA are the following: 1. How can each part conceivably fail? 2. What mechanisms might produce these modes of failure? 3. What could the effects be if the failures did occur? 4.
258. lappuse - The collective term used to describe the availability performance and its influencing factors: reliability performance, maintainability performance, and maintenance support performance.

D. N. P. Murthy obtained B.E. and M.E. degrees from Jabalpur University and the Indian Institute of Science in India and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard University. He is currently a Research Professor in the School of Engineering at the University of Queensland and a Senior Scientific Advisor to the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. He has held visiting appointments at several universities in the USA, Europe and Asia. His current research interests include various aspects of technology management (new product development, strategic management of technology), operations management (lot sizing, quality, reliability, maintenance), and post-sale support (warranties, service contracts). He has authored or coauthored 20 book chapters, 145 journal papers and over 130 conference papers. He is a member of several professional societies and is on the editorial boards of seven international journals. He has run short courses for industry on various topics in technology management, operations management and post-sale support in Australia, Asia, Europe and the USA.

T. Osteras obtained his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, in 1990 and 1998 respectively. In the first years of his career he was a consultant, carrying out risk analyses of offshore oil and gas processing facilities. He was then granted a Ph.D. scholarship to conduct research on how to efficiently design for reliability, maintainability and safety. While carrying out his Ph.D., he also worked part-time as a researcher on reliability and safety related projects in SINTEF. In 1999 he was appointed coordinator for a long-term research project on Integrated Product Development, funded by the Norwegian Research Council. He later held a postdoctoral fellowship, and since 2004 he has been an Associate Professor at the Department of Product Design Engineering, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

M. Rausand is Professor of Safety and Reliability Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). In the first four years of his professional career, he was a lecturer in mathematical statistics at NTNU, where he lectured courses in reliability and risk analysis. Over the next ten years he was engaged in various safety and reliability projects at the research institute SINTEF, mostly related to the Norwegian offshore oil and gas activities. In the last four years of this period he was director of SINTEF Department of Safety and Reliability. In 1989 he again joined NTNU as a full time professor. He has been chairman of NTNU’s Department of Machine Design for five years and vice-dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering for six years. In 1995/96 he was visiting professor at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland, and in 2002/03 he was visiting professor at Ecole des Mines de Nantes. Professor Rausand is a member of the Norwegian Academy of Technical Sciences, and of the Royal Norwegian Society of Letters and Science. He has authored or coauthored 8 book chapters, 22 journal papers and around 40 conference papers. He has run a wide range of short courses for industry on various topics in reliability assessment and risk analysis in Asia, Europe, South America, and the USA.
