The maintenance of systems in engineering is of increasing concern to managers and designers in all
branches of engineering, whether they are producing high-quality products or designing highly-reliable
systems. In recent decades, reliability theory has produced many innovations in maintenance policy.
Maintenance Theory of Reliability is a survey of useful and practical maintenance models covering
replacement, preventative maintenance and inspection.
The book provides a detailed introduction to maintenance policies, updates the reader on the current
status of the field and indicates future directions. The reader will learn the theory of maintenance and how
to apply models in practice. The book will serve as an essential reference for graduate students and
researchers in reliability theory and a useful guide for reliability engineers engaged in main
