Introduction to Statistical Quality Control by Douglas C. Montgomery
Reliability Notes:
Reliability shows how many times a product will stop working during its useful life. When a customer buys a product, he/she expects it to work consistently for a long period of time without any failure. If the purchased product fails from time to time, a customer would consider it a bad quality product. For example, if a Television has a useful life of 10 years and there is a 5% chance of failure during the entire useful life, we say that the Television is 95% reliable. Based on this product quality dimension, a new concept of reliability engineering/management is introduced which is basically an application of probability theory, showing the probability of a product to fail during the useful life.
