This book describes how reliability can be embedded into the product development using a design methodology that uses parametric accelerated lifecycle testing (ALT) .

The book has these features:

•           A new reliability methodology, based on inferential statistics, that can determine whether the reliability of a mechanical/civil system is achieved.

•           A unique reliability methodology to prevent reliability disasters in new mechanical products in the field, e.g.,...

This book provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in the field of smart manufacturing, exploring theoretical research, technological advancements, and practical applications of AI approaches. With Industry 4.0 paving the way for intelligent systems and innovative technologies to enhance productivity and quality, the transition to Industry 5.0 has introduced a new concept known as augmented intelligence (AuI), combining artificial intelligence (AI) with human intelligence (HI).

As the demand for smart manufacturing continues to grow, this...

This book provides university students and practitioners with a collection of importance measures to design systems with high reliability, maintain them with high availability, and restore them in case of failures.

Optimal reliability design, properly system maintenance and resilience management are vital for retaining a high level of system availability. Reliability importance measures, which are used to identify the weakest components from different perspectives, can be used to achieve this goal.

The book has seven parts. Chapter 1 introduces the basic concepts. Chapter 2...

This book explores how transformative changes driven by the new-age economy can bring about improvements in a company's engineering and manufacturing capabilities.

The new-age economy is driven by advanced engineering and manufacturing practices, processes, and technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and Internet-enabled systems to automate industrial processes.

Today's business dynamics are governed by uncertainties, disruptions, complexities, and ambiguities that...
