Prognostics and Health Management Handbook for Physical Assets (Performability Engineering)
Although often taken for granted, safety doesn't just happen. It requires a deep understanding of the principles of safety culture that then must be applied in all of your actions. Safety Management in a Competitive Business Environment discusses the meaning of the culture of safety in all areas of industrial manufacturing, focusing on risk management preventative measures. It explores the new and emerging risks and underlines the significance of effective education methods as prerequisites for...

Such events have generated cons- erable concern over the ability of countries and governments to protect - stallations and their occupants against a potential threat of terrorism. Many countries have established defence agencies and research councils who are currently examining the structural integrity of existing buildings and other vital installations. In some countries codi?ed methods have b...
This short book presents a framework for assessing the reliability and availability of visual quality control systems, placing particular emphasis on wavelet-based analysis. It presents experimental results pertaining to the sensitivity of visual quality control to noise, as an example of dependencies. The influencing parameters are analyzed and included in the reliability model. These parameters are divided between the software and the hardware group, with one condition representing a combinati...
The Perception of Quality; Mapping Product and Service Quality to Consumer Perceptions
Exploring the concept of quality management from a new point of view, this book presents a holistic model of how consumers judge the quality of products. It links consumer perceptions of quality to the design and delivery of the final product, and presents models and methods for improving the quality of these products and services. It offers readers an improved understanding of how and why the design process must consider how the consumer will perceive a product or service. In order to facilitat...

Real Options in Engineering Design, Operations, and Management
Given that engineering flexibility can potentially provide a competitive advantage, the question then becomes: Precisely how valuable is this flexibility? However, traditional methods often fail to accurately capture the economic value of investments in an environment of widespread uncertainty and rapid change. The real options method represents th
Applications to Marine Disaster Prevention
This book focuses on the recent results of the research project funded by a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (S) of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (No. 23226017) from FY 2011 to FY 2015 on an autonomous spilled oil and gas tracking buoy system and its applications to marine disaster prevention systems from a scientific point of view. This book spotlights research on marine disaster prevention systems related to incidents involving oil tankers and offshore platforms, approachi...
Product Lifecycle Management Fur Die Praxis
by Joerg Feldhusen and Boris Gebhardt
Auf die Marktanforderungen nach individuellen Loesungen reagieren Unternehmen haufig mit neuen Produktvarianten. Dies fuhrt auch bei kleinen und mittelstandischen Unternehmen zu einer nicht mehr beherrschbaren Prozess- und Produktkomplexitat. Die Folgen sind ein hoher Kosten- und Zeitaufwand, die sich existenzbedrohend auswirken koennen. Ein moeglicher Weg aus dieser "Komplexitatsfalle" ist die Strategie des Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). Die Autoren stellen auf der Grundlage vorhandener Op...
This book concentrates on the design of individual parts, that is detail design, leading to the design of machines to meet a statistically quantified requirement of reliability. Here the author shows for the first time that even when material properties are expressed statistically there are some aspects (for example, strain hardening) that are fundamentally deterministic. The steps in the design methodology are given in detail and possible difficulties of implementation are discussed. Reference...

Material Failure Prevention (Failure Prevention and Operational Excellence)
by Michael D. Holloway
Material failure is one of the leading causes of downtime, loss of profitability, and costly corrective measures, across a wide variety of industries, such as manufacturing, the process industries, and plastics. This is the first volume in a series of books dedicated to the eradication of failure with better systems, processes, and product management. Covering material failure, this volume lays the foundation for future volumes while offering a stand-alone treatment of this important subject.
