    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Aimed at directors of companies looking for overall advantages, engineers not trained in quality and reliability to show how reliability can help in their technical decision making, and at middle management not specialized in engineering to demonstrate how reliability should be dovetailed in with other disciplines to give them the best result.
