Design for Reliability:

By Daniel Daley

Developing Assets that Meet The Needs of Owners

2011, 250pp, illus.,ISBN: 978-0-8311-3437-2, $44.95

None of the few Design for Reliability (DFR) books currently available addresses the process from the owners (or buyers) perspective. Instead, they approach DFR strictly from the sellers (or manufacturers) viewpoint. As a result, few assets are designed and developed with the intent to meet the future owners specific needs for reliability, availability, and maintainability over the life of the asset. In this groundbreaking new book, Dan Daley intends to correct the imbalance in how DFR is often implemented by providing owners with the tools they need to ensure that their requirements - not the sellers - are followed in developing new assets. This book will be an invaluable guide to everyone involved in the design, development, or purchase of new assets. It will help owners take the necessary steps to get what they really need, and it will help sellers deliver the goods that their customers the owners actually want. FEATURES Explains how to properly integrate DFR activities with conventional design activities. Provides a simple system to ensure DFR activities are completed on time. Provides spreadsheets and forms needed to portray design results in a clear and usable format. Includes the tables and forms needed to support the design processes and procedures presented in each chapter. Includes appendices that provide an example specification that owners can modify when procuring a new asset and example tables useful in assessing how well the DFR process has met the owners needs. Table of Contents: Introduction. Differences in Perspectives. DFR for the Sellers Business Model. DFR for the Owners Business Model. Reliability Analysis. Availability Analysis. Maintainability Analysis. Organizing for Concurrent Engineering. Obtaining the Cooperation of the Seller. After the Purchase is Completed. Conclusion. Appendices. Index.

Edmund Isakov Metalcutting Series

By Edmund Isakov Ph.D., 2008, 250 pp, illus. ISBN: 978-0-8311-3314-6 $49.95
Machining is one of the most important manufacturing processes, which remove unwanted material in the form of chips from a workpiece. Material removal operations are among the most expensive; in the U.S. alone, more than $100 billion were spent on machining in 1999. These high costs put tremendous economic pressures on production managers and engineers as they struggle to find ways to increase productivity. Machining recommendations provided in this book cover turning since it allows removing more material per unit of time and consuming more power at the rouging operations than end milling, boring or drilling. Machining recommendations relate to cutting speeds, feed rates, and depth of cuts. Such recommendations depend on the workpiece material properties and the cutting tool material. Workpiece materials described in this book are the most commonly used grades of carbon, alloy, stainless, tool, and maraging steels. Cutting tool materials are cemented carbides, cermets, and ceramics.

Preparing a formal proposal is the first important stage in creating a book. In order to ensure that Industrial Press can evaluate the merits of your idea and arrive at the right publishing decision, we recommend that your proposal include the following elements:

GUIDELINES FOR YOUR BOOK PROPOSAL

A. Prospectus

The ideal prospectus includes a convincing rationale for the project, a plan for its development, and a clear focus on its targeted market. A carefully prepared prospectus also will explain why you want to undertake this project and will address the following questions:

1. The Market

2. The Competition 3. The Content

What is the market for your project? Who, specifically, are the potential customers for this project? What trade organizations does this market support? Is there an academic segment to this market? At what level?

Who are the major competitors? Please cite author, title, and year published. What are their strengths and weaknesses and what advantages will your book have? Describe your proposed book. What are its key features/customer benefits? If software will accompany your project, please describe it fully. Please include the most current table of contents.

4. The Format

5. The Schedule B. Sample Chapters

What is the projected length of your manuscript? What are your plans for the art program (number and kind of illustrations)? How will you prepare your illustrations? Are there any special design considerations? Whats your schedule for delivering the complete manuscript, including art?

C. Vita and Optional Reviewer Suggestions

Sample chapters are an important part of your proposal. While the prospectus and table of contents explain your plan, it is the sample chapters that demonstrate whether your books potential is likely to be realized. Please include one or two chapters with your prospectus or provide a schedule for submitting these chapters. Please include your vita, including work and teaching experience, degrees and affiliations, any prior publications and awards. Be sure to include your street address, telephone and email address. Your recommendations for reviewers, preferably drawn from your target market, or experts in the field.

Please send your proposal to our editorial director, John Carleo, at [email protected]
