Every parent is concerned when a child is slow to become a mature
adult. This is also true for any product designer, regardless of
their industry sector. For a product to be mature, it must have an
expected level of reliability from the moment it is put into
service, and must maintain this level throughout its industrial
use. While there have been theoretical and practical advances in
reliability from the 1960s to the end of the 1990s, to take into
account the effect of maintenance, the maturity of a product is
often only partially addressed. Product Maturity 1 fills this gap
as much as possible; a difficult exercise given that maturity is a
transverse activity in the engineering sciences; it must be present
throughout the lifecycle of a product.
Today, the reliability of systems has become a major issue in most
industrial applications. The theoretical approach to estimating
reliability was largely developed in the 1960s for maintenance-free
systems, and more recently, in the late 1990s, it was developed for
maintenance-based systems. Customers' expectations concerning
reliability (as well as maintenance, safety, etc.) are growing ever
more demanding over the generations of systems. However, the
theoretical methods used to handle the systems are not suitable
when aging mechanisms are present. This book proposes a theoretical
approach to estimate all of these quantities correctly. In addition
to the theoretical aspect, it details a number of issues that any
industrial system will meet sooner or later, whether due to design
flaws, the batch of components, manufacturing problems or new
technologies that result in the aging of mechanisms during their
operational use.
