How do you rank a reliability engineering book? Amazon and Goole can rank books based on algorithms, numbers, customer reviews and so on. But some books do a magnificent job of explaining the wrong concept. These books can have a great 'ranking' but be useless for you. So how do YOU rank YOUR reliability engineering books?The post SOR 1073 Reliability Engineering Books appeared first on Accendo Reliability.

You can't talk about reliability engineering without talkiing about psychology. Why? Because reliability engineering decisions you make today have consequences, weeks, months, and years from now. So we can prioritize instant gratification (not doing reliability stuff) over future costs and consequences if we want. And that is where psychology comes into play.The post SOR 1072 Psychology and Reliability appeared first on Accendo Reliability.
