Is Reliability Assessment Worthwhile?

Abstract

The article first examines some of the important criteria involved in evaluating the worth of a reliability and cost analysis facility within a manufacturing company. Using the author's specific experience, examples are given under each heading. It is argued that the benefits which may arise from reliability assessment can, in monetary terms, be very substantial, easily offsetting the cost of the activity.
