Reliability assessment framework for repairable system

摘要

System reliability assessment serves as one of the decision tools in selecting the right maintenance strategy. However, selecting the right reliability model can be a formidable task given the vast number of available reliability prediction models This paper presents a framework of selecting the right model based on system failure data with special emphasis on generalized renewal process (GRP) for system that exhibits failure trending The results indicate a better fit for the data with GRP compared with life data analysis approach.
