Abstract

Man’s level of dependence on equipment is increasing. This degree of dependence requires high levels of availability, which has been changing the impact that disruption of these systems causes. For many systems, an interruption has consequences that go beyond the dimension of financial loss, thus justifying a multidimensional consequence approach by using multicriteria (MCDM/A) models. Thus, understanding the relationships between and among risk, reliability and maintenance (RRM) is essential in order to offer more comprehensive solutions to the various problems often treated in isolation from each other, and which are the most important problems of the competitive market. This chapter discusses fundamental topics about RRM, including tools for risk analysis and hazard identification, concepts of reliability, maintenance techniques such as RCM and TPM and eliciting expert’s knowledge. These topics are presented in order to provide a basis for structuring different MCDM/A problems that are addressed in several chapters. Some fundamental aspects could be used as input to decision models in different forms such as attributes, objectives, criteria, and problem context.
