The maintenance of systems in engineering is of increasing concern to managersand designers in all branches of engineering whether they are producing highquality products or designing highly reliable systems. In recent decadesreliability theory has produced many innovations in maintenance policy.Maintenance Theory of Reliability is a survey of useful and practicalmaintenance models covering replacement preventive maintenance and inspection.The book provides a detailed introduction to maintenance policies updates thereader on the current status of the field and indicates future directions. Thereader will learn the theory of maintenance and how to apply models inpractice. The book will serve as an essential reference for graduate studentsand researchers in reliability theory and a useful guide for reliabilityengineers engaged in maintenance work. TOCIntroduction.
