Product Description
Basic Reliability is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to work in Reliability Engineering or has a project that has to be completed with the principles of Reliability. Author Nicholas Summerville brings over 15 years of Reliability, Quality, and Safety Engineering to light in this easy to understand book. In clear and easy to understand language, Summerville points out the key principles of Reliability Engineering and how one can easily understand and complete Reliability Projects. He even has included a glossary at the end to help you understand those tough engineering terms. Basic Reliability covers a diverse field of topics, including: Introduction to Reliability Life-Cycle Modeling Failure Modes and Failure Rates Reliability Tools Terminology Maintainability Applying Reliability vs. cost Basic Reliability is a useful resource for those wanting to use Reliability Tools as well as perform Reliability life cycle analyses. Reliability from the beginning from the product design stage is much better than trying to add reliability to the product once it is out in the field.

 Short review of Reliability basics, 2008-06-12
I used this as a quick review and reminder of Reliability basics to prepare for more detailed study. Gets you quickly up to speed on forgotten information and acronyms.

 Not useful, 2008-03-27
Not suitable as an introduction. Even for an introduction it's too simple. It contains about 100 pages but could have been printed on 50 pages. Layout is unprofessional and images do not add information. Some images are in very bad quality too.

 Review of Basic Reliability, 2008-03-03
This book is full of typographical errors spelling errors, grammatical errors, and omissions (for example, the book states: see formula for the three parameter Weibull distribution and then jumps to discussion of the formula without telling you what it is). The graphics are also poor. Fortunately, the cost is low. I would recommend any new reader have another Reliability text to which to refer when reading this one in order to determine whether equations are correct or not (for example, on page 47 the book states that R(t)= e to the lambda (t) when in fact R(t) = e to the minus lambda (t). And the word "lambda" is misspelled as "lamda".).

Reliablity and quality., 2008-03-01
This is an OK read for those wanting a brief introduction to reliability. However, there are no complex equations or theories that go significantly into the body of knowledge of reliability engineering. One gets a brief 120 page introduction to this complex topic. This serves the purpose of those who want the intro information. This would be a bad source to use on the CRE test. A good introduction to the subject and that is all.
The writing was easy to follow. However, there were a large amount of either typos, or badly worded sentences in this book. The information was clear, but it was annoying to see words like itself spelled it self. Perhaps someone needed to check the final copy before print.

 Excellent Handout for a Training Seminar for Operators, 2006-11-10
I like the basic concepts in this book. It has a manual style about it. Personally, I skimmed through it in 5 minutes. There was nothing here for anyone wanting to do detailed calculations. It is a good textbook for those who only need to know what someone else wants them to do. Knowing why is often a great incentive. If I was teaching a bunch of operators or people with a high school or college freshman level of education, I would probably consider this handbook.
