‘Reliability Assessment: A Guide to Aligning Expectations, Practices, and Performance’
Daniel T. Daley
Industrial Press
$65.95
This book is intended to simplify the assessment of reliability by first identifying the current expectations then assessing the current practices to determine if expectations are realistic or if they are not supported by programs and practices.
The text addresses the elements of reliability using a new and creative approach for the first time in one source. It combines the most effective and efficient of those approaches into a single activity that shows managers what they have a right to expect and what they do not. Most often, this discovery comes as the result of painful failures and production losses. This unique book and the process it describes will allow the discovery of this misalignment to take place at a more convenient and less costly time.
