چکیده
Predictive modelling in the ®eld of dependability, such as repair cost modelling, is usually based on the failure intensity function of repairable systems. The experience feedback data needed to estimate the failure intensity function is, however, seldom available due to the unique character of the systems. Thus approaches that can capture the tacit knowledge of designers, operators and maintenance personnel and transform this to the mathematical format required in the predictive models, are needed. A Bayesian statistical approach is presented, which yields posterior distributions of the parameters of the Power Law and the Log-Linear intensity functions, which are used to model the trend in the data observed. Model-checking criteria are presented according to which the relative performance of the selected functions can be assessed. Numerical examples are also given. q 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Risk analysis in plant commissioning: the Multilevel Hazop
The paper deals with risk analysis and management in the realisation of process plants by engineering and contracting companies. Specifically, a new analytical methodology is developed to manage the typical risks of plant commissioning. Following a detailed study of the commissioning process and its criticalities, Hazop is selected as the most suitable approach in forecasting particular risks o...
متن کاملDevelopment of the step complexity measure for emergency operating procedures using entropy concepts
The measure that can evaluate step complexity of emergency operating procedures is developed. To verify appropriateness of developed measure, some comparative evaluations were performed. From these comparisons, it can be concluded that developed measure reasonably quantifies the degree of step complexity.
متن کاملModeling of uncertainties in reliability centered maintenance - a probabilistic approach
Uncertainties in the decision making of reliability centered maintenance (RCM) are discussed. These uncertainties might be unacceptable in many practical applications, leading to non-optimum maintenance strategies. An alternative approach, opening for speci®ed uncertainties is shown to correct this defect. Exemplifying the approach, a simple ®re detection system is discussed. q 2001 Elsevier Sc...
متن کاملCriticality and sensitivity analysis of the components of a system
In the design of complex systems there is a great interest to know the relative importance of each of their elements. In this paper, we define a new method for measuring the relative importance of each element of the system. We have to specify that this paper concerns only nonrepairable systems and components. We present a way of calculating the criticality of each component for a complex syste...

This paper considers a repairable system which undergoes preventive maintenance (PM) periodically and is minimally repaired at each failure.
