Reliability is quality over time. It is formally defined as the probability of a product or system performing as intended for a specified time. Improper analysis of product reliability can be very expensive or even fatal. Many of the product recalls that we see daily are due to unexpected failures resulting from poor reliability analysis during the product design stage. Minitabis a statistical software package that has a highly useful set of "Reliability/Survival" tools, but those tools are barely explored or explained in literature. This new book illustrates the application of Minitabfor Reliability Analysis using case studies in both manufacturing and service sectors.
