Today's marketplace demands product reliability. At the same time, it places ever-increasing demands on products that push the limits of their performance and their functional life, and it does so with the expectation of lower per-unit product costs. To meet these demands, product design now requires a focused, streamlined, concurrent engineering process that will produce a product at the lowest... Read more

Biography

Crowe, Dana; Feinberg, Alec

"This book is definitely a strong addition to the body of knowledge for Reliability professionals and for any company that wants to improve the business competitiveness by improving product reliability…I have been fortunate to know [the DfR activity at M/A-COM/Tyco] and I also know how impressed other organizations are when they get to see it. This is an outstanding industry leader that has documented the implemented practice in this book."
--James E. "Gene" Bridgers, RESULTS MA

"…a practical and useful book…description of the 'stage gate approach'…emphasis on accelerated test methods…description of physics of failure and failure investigation techniques…"
