Abstract Reliability is the probability of equipment or processes to function without failure, when operated correctly, for a given interval of time, under stated conditions. Reliability numbers, by themselves, lack meaning for making improvements. For business, the financial issue of Reliability is controlling the cost of unreliability from equipment and process failures which waste money. Reliability issues are understandable when converted into monetary values by using actual plant data. Several Reliability engineering Tools are discussed. Reliability Definitions Reliability , reduce unreliability costs, generate more Reliability has many definitions (Omdahl 1988).
