Abstract:Reliability control for mission‐critical items is studied. The purpose of the control is to ensure the attainment during mission time of a required performance level which is based on suitably defined measures. This is achieved by replacing the item during normal operation time as soon as the reliability requirement is violated. We first consider the case of a known life distribution, but the main focus of the work is on the case where the life distribution is not completely specified. A Bayesian approach is t… Show more
