    Umm, what exactly is reliabilty and maintainability engineering?

    A focus of all the main branches of engineering that concentrates on designing for optimal life cycle.

    For a simplistic example, taking a basic pillow block bearing assembly (a key point of failure) and designing the unit using higher grade steels, teflon and zerk fittings for greasing of bearings results in a much longer life cycle & decreased point of failure due to increased reliabilty and easier maintainabilty.
