Reliability theory is a major concern for engineers and managers engaged in making high quality products and designing highly reliable systems. Advanced Reliability Models and Maintenance Policies is a survey of new research topics in reliability theory and optimization techniques in reliability engineering. Advanced Reliability Models and Maintenance Policies introduces partition and redundant problems within reliability models, and provides optimization techniques. The book also indicates how to perform maintenance in a finite time span and at failure detection, and to apply recovery techniques for computer systems. New themes such as reliability complexity and service reliability in reliability theory are theoretically proposed, and optimization problems in management science using reliability techniques are presented. A survey of new research topics in reliability theory and optimization techniques in reliability engineering Professor Toshio Nakagawa is considered the world leader in maintenance reliability engineering, having worked in this area for over thirty years and published more than 150 research papers on the topic INDICE: Introduction.- Redundant Models.- Partition Policies.- MaintenancePolicies for a Finite Interval.- Forward and Backward Times in Reliability Models.- Optimum Retrial Number of Reliability Models.- Optimum Checkpoint Intervals for Fault Detection.- Maintenance Models with Two Variables.- System Complexity and Entropy Models.- Management Models with Reliability Applications.
