Maintainability is of crucial importance throughout industry and is
established as one of the most important issues in the aerospace and
defence arena. No new system can be introduced without full
maintainability, analysis and demonstration; a type of analysis which
reduces life cycle costs by decreasing operational and maintenance costs
and increasing systems operational effectiveness, leading in turn to the
creation of more competitive products. This book establishes the full
methodology for maintainability mathematics and modelling, as well as
the relationship between the maintainability and maintenance processes.
