Description

This reference on ascertaining the life and function of process components is packed with graphs, figures, photographs and checklists. It contains dozens of assessment techniques based on probability and statistical analysis. Theoretical and practical contexts are given for the various methods, which include failure mode and effect analysis, risk and hazard assessment, fault-tree analysis, Weibull analysis and field-reliability assessment.
