It has been my experience that teaching basic reliability for equipment has been close to impossible. This book has eased the burden for that purpose. It is written clearly and in terms that will not destroy the mathamatically weak.

This book does a nice job of giving the "big picture" for an Engineering Manager, Production Manager, or Engineer. It gives an Explanation of helpful metrics such as Reliability and Maintainability (components of Availability), and the part they play in the entire life-cycle cost of automated equipment. This book is an ideal outline of an effective R&M program. After reading this book, the reader can go to more "thorough" books for the detail.

This book is concise and to the point. Ideal for any engineer wanting to learn about the science of reliability engineering in the hi-tech field. I know for a fact it is highly regarded out here in Silicon Valley.

Although this book is written on a subject not easily found in libraries, this book is too simplistic in nature and lacks sophistication. It reads more of a "Reliability for Dummies" and less like a technical or educational reference book.

The book is accurate in its content but is filled with so much fluff, that it doesn't warrant purchase. Dhudshia does a decent job but his book would have made a better pamphlet. It really betrays the concept of educational writing: instead of packing good information concisely, it focuses on milking each point for all its worth so as to create the minimum number of pages needed to be categorized as an actual "book."
