The efficient functioning of modern society depends on the smooth
operation of many complex systems which provide products and
services. These include transport systems, communication systems,
utilities, manufacturing plants, processing plants, hospitals and
banks. Such systems are unreliable in the sense that they degrade
with age and/or usage and fail when they are no longer capable of
delivering the products and services. When a complex system fails,
the consequences can be dramatic. It can result in serious economic
losses, affect humans and do serious damage to the environment.
These failures can be controlled through preventive maintenance
actions.
Due to advances in the understanding of the physics of failure,
and in the technologies used to combat this failure; the literature
on maintenance of unreliable systems is vast. Complex System
Maintenance Handbook is the first book to integrate this vast
literature with chapters written by internationally-renowned active
researchers and experienced practitioners focussing on different
aspects of maintenance. Each chapter will review the literature
dealing with a particular aspect of maintenance, report on
developments and trends in a particular industry sector or present
a case study.
Complex System Maintenance Handbook narrows the gap between
theory and practice and will trigger new research on different
aspects of maintenance. It will be of interest to maintenance
engineers and managers working in industry as well as researchers
and graduate students in the fields of maintenance, industrial
engineering and applied mathematics.
