Page x - The modern approach to quality and reliability concerns excellence: excellence when the product is designed, excellence when the product is made, excellence as the product is used, and excellence throughout its lifetime. But excellence does not result without effort, and products and services of superior quality and reliability require an appropriate combination of statistical, engineering, management, and motivational effort. This effort can be directed for maximum benefit only in light of timely...
Page ix - It is a forum in which the subject matter of these various areas can be brought together to allow for effective integration of appropriate techniques. This will promote the true benefit of each, which can be achieved only through their interaction. In this sense, the whole of quality and reliability is greater than the sum of its parts, as each element augments the others. The contributors to this series have been encouraged to discuss fundamental concepts as well as methodology, technology, and...
