This paper provides an overview of the historical evolution of reliability in the scientific area
of operations research. Historical views and future perspectives are specifically offered with …

Most industrial products degrade with usage. To capture degradation patterns and schedule
condition-based maintenance actions, it is necessary to model the degradation process and …

In production lines, several factors contribute to the manufacturing of final products. Among
these factors, the production time, machine status, and energy consumption, before and …

Two important aspects of manufacturing systems are production scheduling and
maintenance planning. These aspects are interdependent, but in most research work, this …

To deal with age-and state-dependent degradation, unit-to-unit variability and partially
observable or hidden degradation in remaining useful life prediction jointly, this paper …

Many products and systems are subject to multiple degradation processes, such as ageing,
wear, and so on, as well as random shocks induced by the external environment. Some …

In this paper, a hybrid condition-/age-based maintenance policy is proposed for
deteriorating units whose observed degradation paths are affected by temporal variability …

" Degradation process" refers to many types of reliability models, which correspond to
various kinds of stochastic processes used for deterioration modeling. This book focuses on …

Stochastic processes are widely used to describe continuous degradation, among which the
monotonically increasing degradation is most common. However, the observation is often …

The basic exponential-dispersion (ED) process can be used to describe many degradation
phenomena, but its degradation increments are only age-dependent, which limits its …
