Dr Edgar Bradley
Updated throughout for the second edition, Reliability Engineering: A Life Cycle Approach draws on the author’s global industry experience to demonstrate the invaluable role reliability engineers play in the entire life cycle of a plant.
Applicable to both high-cost, cutting-edge plants and to plants operating under serious budget constraints, this textbook uses a practical approach to cover the theory of reliability engineering, alongside the design, operation, and maintenance required in a plant. This textbook has been updated to cover the modern standards of maintenance practice, most notably the ISO 55 000 standards. It also covers linear programming, failure analysis, financial management, and analysis. This textbook refers to case studies throughout.
Taking a practical approach and drawing from the author’s global academic and work experience, the text covers the basics of reliability engineering, from design through to operation and maintenance.

Testimonials
Testimonials from consulting partners, students and customers:
— Maintenance TechnicianThe lectures were stimulating, with case studies, videos and group discussion.
— Maintenance Planning Manager, South AfricaI have been motivated into applying a more challenging mindset to workaday problems. I now have ideas on how to improve my managerial skills and the effectiveness of my maintenance planning section.
— Plant Engineer, South AfricaThe most important aspect is that the lecturer is knowledgeable in the field of maintenance and does not accept that all the information out there is always true. All the material he presents is based on personal experience and logical conclusions are always drawn.
— Amazon CustomerThis author's work appears to be backed up and based upon very heavy-duty experience. He has definitely been around the block more than a few times.
