Preface
Manufacturing businesses need to develop new products and improve current products to better meet consumer needs in order to survive and grow in a fierce competitive environment. Customers have expectations regarding product performance over time. Product quality and reliability are crucial competence factors and hence the major concerns of manufacturing industries. To achieve world-class quality, the manufacturer of a product must satisfy customer needs using various models, tools, and techniques to help manage reliability and quality for new and current products. The life cycle of a product refers to several stages from its conception, through design and manufacture, to service and disposal. Each stage can add value to the product and the magnitude is characterized by a well-known smile curve shown in Fig. 1. As can be seen from the figure, the efforts made in the pre-manufa
