Prediction Technologies for Improving Engineering Product Efficiency

chapter 1. How was began development of new engineering direction - Successful Prediction of Engineering Product Efficiency.- chapter 2. Analysis of Current Situation with Prediction of New Product Reliability and Efficiency .- chapter 3. Technology of successful prediction of new product efficiency (quality, reliability, durability, maintainability, safety, life-cycle cost, profit, and other components).- chapter 4. Accelerated reliability and durability testing technology as second key factor for successful prediction of product efficiency..- chapter 5. Negative trends in the development of simulation, testing, and prediction in engineering.- chapter 6. Implementation of successful prediction of product efficiency and accelerated reliability and durability testing.

Lev Klyatis' major scientific/technical expertise has been in the development of new direction for the successful prediction of product efficiency during any given time, including reliability and durability testing technology, and accurate simulation of real-world conditions. This direction is based on new ideas and unique approach will lead to future development for improving society. This new direction was founded on the integration of real-world inputs, safety aspects, and human factors, improvement in the engineering culture, and accelerated product development. Developing a new methodology for reducing complaints and recalls, he formalized concepts on how to avoid the negative aspects of accelerated testing and prediction, and the misconceptions that are prevalent in today's, and especially could be tomorrow's (autonomous vehicles and digitalization) engineering.

His approach has been verified in various industries, primarily automotive, farm machinery, aerospace, andaircraft industries. He has shared these methods working as a consultant to Ford, DaimlerChrysler, Nissan, Toyota, Jatko Ltd., Thermo King, Black and Decker, NASA Research Centers, Carl Schenk, and many others.

He has selected to be on the US - USSR Trade and Economic Council, The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, the USA Representative for the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and International Standardization Organization (ISO). He also served as an expert at the ISO/IEC Joint Study Group in Safety Aspects of Risk Assessment. He was the research leader and chairman of the State Enterprise TESTMASH, Moscow, Russia, and principal engineer of a state test center.

 He is presently a member of the World Quality Council, The Elmer A. Sperry Board of Award, SAE International G-41 (former G-11) Reliability Committee, the Integrated Design and Manufacturing Committee of SAE International World Congresses, Session Chairman for SAE World
