Abstract

Reliability is one of the key quality characteristics of components, products and systems. It cannot be directly measured and assessed like other quality characteristics but can only be predicted for given times and conditions. Its value depends on the use conditions of the product as well as the time at which it is to be predicted. Reliability prediction has a major impact on critical decisions such as the optimum release time of the product, the type and length of warranty policy and associated duration and cost, and the determination of the optimum maintenance and replacement schedules. Therefore, it is important to provide accurate reliability predictions over time in order to determine accurately the repair, inspection and replacements strategies of products and systems.
