Abstract

Every system (product, plant or infrastructure) is unreliable in the sense that it degrades and eventually fails. Maintenance is needed to compensate for this unreliability. Any decision-making with respect to maintenance requires a proper understanding of the degradation processes over time and the actions of maintenance from a system life cycle perspective.
