At a time of fierce global competition, long-termcost effectiveness is a major competitive advantage thatmanufacturers simply cannot afford to underestimate. Clearly then,to remain competitive in today's international marketplace,companies must institute programs for reducing system maintenanceand support costs-- comprehensive programs that are an integralpart of the design and development process from its earliestconceptual stages.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book shows you how to implement such a program within yourorganization's design and development function. From programscheduling, organizational interfacing, cost estimating, andsupplier activities, to maintainability prediction, task analysis,formal design review, and maintainability tests and demonstrations,it describes all the planning and organizational aspects ofmaintainability for projects under development while schooling youin the use of the full range of proven design techniques--includingmethods for quantitatively measuring maintainability at every stageof the development process. The authors also clearly explain howthe principles and practices outlined in Maintainability can beapplied to the evaluation of systems\/products now in use both toincrease their effectiveness and reduce long-term costs.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e While theoretical aspects of maintainability are discussed, theauthors' main purpose in writing this book is to help getprofessionals quickly on-line with the essential maintainabilityconcepts and skills. Hence, in addition to clarity of presentationand a rational hierarchical format, Maintainability features manycase studies and sample applications that help to clarify thepoints covered, and numerous practice exercises that help engineersto test their mastery of the concepts and techniques covered.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Maintainability is an invaluable professional tool for engineersfrom all disciplines who are involved with the design, testing,prototyping, manufacturing, and maintenance of products andsystems. It also serves as a superior course book forgraduate-level programs in those disciplines.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePlanning for Maintainability.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Organization for Maintainability.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Measures of Maintainability.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Development of the Maintenance Concept.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Maintainability Analysis.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Maintainability in Design.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Maintainability Prediction.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Formal Design Review.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Maintainability Test and Demonstration.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Maintainability Applcations for Operating Systems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Mechanical engineering \u0026amp; materials [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Mechanical engineering \u0026amp; materials\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Mechanical%20engineering%20\u0026amp;%20materials%20%5BTG%5D%22\"\u003eTG\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Interscience","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52298003153176,"sku":"9780471591320","price":135.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471591320.jpg?v=1781730638","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/maintainability-a-key-to-effective-serviceability-and-maintenance-management-hardback-9780471591320","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
