The advntage of this book
The advntage of this book compared of the other reliability engineeign books is the vast number of examples and case studies based on real projects which enable the reader have a clear understanding about the reliability methods, the real application and the advantages of such methods. In addition, the chapter 5 and 6 content human factor and safety, both related with reliability engineering, which enable the readers a complete ision of such methods interactions. Finally, the book cove all subjects related to reliability engineering applied to Oil and gas industry including the Reliability engineering management n chapter 7 and asset management asset management in chapter 8
