Design for Reliability:Developing Assets that Meet The Needs of Owners

By Daniel Daley 2011, 250pp, illus.,ISBN: 978-0-8311-3437-2, $44.95

None of the few Design for Reliability (DFR) books currently available addresses the process from theowner’s (or buyer’s) perspective. Instead, they approach DFR strictly from the seller’s (or manufacturer’s)viewpoint. As a result, few assets are designed and developed with the intent to meet the future owner’s spe-cific needs for reliability, availability, and maintainability over the life of the asset. In this groundbreaking newbook, Dan Daley intends to correct the imbalance in how DFR is often implemented by providing owners withthe tools they need to ensure that their requirements - not the seller’s - are followed in developing new assets.

This book will be an invaluable guide to everyone involved in the design, development, or purchase of newassets. It will help owners take the necessary steps to get what they really need, and it will help sellers “deliv-er the goods” that their customers – the owners – actually want.

FEATURES• Explains how to properly integrate DFR activities with conventional design activities.• Provides a simple system to ensure DFR activities are completed on time.• Provides spreadsheets and forms needed to portray design results in a clear and usable format.• Includes the tables and forms needed to support the design processes and procedures presented in

each chapter.• Includes appendices that provide an example specification that owners can modify when procuring a new

asset and example tables useful in assessing how well the DFR process has met the owner’s needs.

Table of Contents: Introduction. Differences in Perspectives. DFR for the Seller’s Business Model. DFR forthe Owner’s Business Model. Reliability Analysis. Availability Analysis. Maintainability Analysis. Organizingfor Concurrent Engineering. Obtaining the Cooperation of the Seller. After the Purchase is Completed.Conclusion. Appendices. Index.

Maintenance and Reliability Best PracticesWORKBOOK

By Ramesh Gulati May 2012, 225pp, illus., ISBN: 978-0-8311-3435-8, $24.95

Drawing upon the author’s many years of shop floor and management experience in a variety of industries, thisbestseller is designed to provide a basic yet thorough understanding of Maintenance and Reliability “BestPractices.” This book recognizes that to implement best practices requires a workforce with a thorough understand-

ing and knowledge of Maintenance and Reliability principles and the available technologies. But implementation is not as simple as just put-ting something new into effect. To truly implement a best practice requires learning, relearning, benchmarking, and realizing better ways ofensuring high reliability and availability of equipment and systems. This book explains and supports this ongoing process, and is an essentialguide and reference for everyone who wants to ensure that their company’s assets are operating as and when needed and at reasonable cost.It is ideal for designers who design the equipment; operators who operate; and maintainers who maintain, as well as warehouse and store per-sonnel who procure and supply materials; engineers who improve the reliability; and human resource professionals who provide and arrangefor a work force. Students specializing in the M&R field will also benefit, and a special student workbook (ISBN 9780831134358) will bepublished for the first time.

NEW TO THE SECOND EDITION• Includes a list of questions and answers in most chapters which provide possible real-world scenarios. • Answers the what, why, or how of the topic being presented.• Provides a list of key terms and reference material within each chapter to enhance further knowledge.• Presents contents in an easy-to-understand style and format. • Helpful to both the novice and seasoned professional alike

Each of the four volumes is an independent treatise on the subject of mechanisms. The books are similarin size and general character, but the contents are different. The mechanisms described are grouped intochapters according to general types. A complete index, is arranged by function. It is easy to find the classof movement desired and enables you to compare mechanisms which are similar in purpose but differentin design. The descriptions and illustrations are confined to the important and fundamental elements, sothat time is not wasted on useless or irrelevant details. You are told briefly what each mechanism consistsof, how it operates, and the features which make it of special interest. The particular mechanisms have beenselected because they have stood the test of actual practice. Among the mechanisms described and illus-trated by working diagrams are: cam applications and special cam designs; intermittent motions from gearsand cams; interlocking devices; valve diagrams; reversing mechanisms of special design; tripping or stopmechanisms; drives of crank type for reciprocating driven members; feeding mechanisms and auxiliarydevices; feeding and ejecting mechanisms; and many more.

Cutting Data for Turning of SteelBy Edmund Isakov Ph.D., 2008, 250 pp, illus. ISBN: 978-0-8311-3314-6 $49.95

Machining is one of the most important manufacturing processes, which remove unwanted material in the form of chipsfrom a workpiece. Material removal operations are among the most expensive; in the U.S. alone, more than $100 billionwere spent on machining in 1999. These high costs put tremendous economic pressures on production managers andengineers as they struggle to find ways to increase productivity.

Machining recommendations provided in this book cover turning since it allows removing more material per unit oftime and consuming more power at the rouging operations than end milling, boring or drilling. Machining recommenda-tions relate to cutting speeds, feed rates, and depth of cuts. Such recommendations depend on the workpiece material

properties and the cutting tool material. Workpiece materials described in this book are the most commonly used grades of carbon, alloy, stainless,tool, and maraging steels. Cutting tool materials are cemented carbides, cermets, and ceramics.
